    Scotch or Bourbon vs Tequila

    If you're going to go the tequila route, look for additive free stuff. The good stuff stands on its own. The stuff masquerading as good stuff (casamigos, Clase Azul, don julio) has sugar added to it to. The sugared down stuff is tasty, just know a true enthusiast will die inside if you offer...

    Water bottles, tumblers, mugs

    I want the least substantial vessel for any of my beverage options. It shouldn't be heavy when empty. It shouldn't have a thick lip. It should just be a red solo cup. Single use plastic is best. I don't haul water around, I just camel it around by drinking a lot before I head out.

    How much do you tip for a haircut?

    I usually tip 20 for any service. Started that when the corporate flying began. I figured if I tip 20 for a 5 minute van ride to the hotel or for ice I might as well do it for someone cutting my hair. Seeing the tips in this thread would explain why I usually get a surprised look when I slap...

    Southwest back in the news

    I love having A1 or some kind of rip off early bird boarding to find that seat is already taken when I'm the first one on the plane. What a joke. Then there was the time when they started boarding 5 minutes early and when I got to the gate 2 minutes prior all the "business" select were already...

    Is that S/Y 'A' in your photo ? Looks beautiful there.

    Southwest back in the news

    I only try for exit row seats since my knees touch the back of the seat in front of me. It's downright uncomfortable to fly like that.

    Southwest back in the news

    There's only like 2 seats on the whole plane that are any better than the rest. If you're tall those seat are not good on that aircraft. I don't have the option to buy a better seat. Then they have the audacity to sell the first 15 tickets for more money but there are already 20+ pax on...

    Southwest back in the news

    I was A List preferred last year. And I got treated to the same $hi%&$ seat every flight. I got to walk on to a plane with A1 boarding to find there were already 20 connecting pax on board. It's a bad deal for people who actually travel for work.

    Southwest back in the news

    Worst planes, service, boarding and loyalty in the industry. true customer appreciation is exactly what you're seeing now. They appreciate their customers so much they are encouraging them to use airlines that have things like proper loyalty, assigned seats, upgraded seats, ability to charge...

    YouTuber on the 1500 Hour Rule. What Do You Think?

    Or 1250, or 750. Depends on your training. 1500 hours isn't the rule. restricted ATP is the rule.

    YouTuber on the 1500 Hour Rule. What Do You Think?

    What's the 1500 hour rule ? I don't see anything that says anything about 1500 hrs required.

    Got a Jet Job...and Some Motivation for Others

    It doesn't. It turns you into an FO at spirit or frontier while the regionals struggle to hold on to the captains they have already.

    Is the Hiring Boom Over?

    You can go straight to frontier or spirit niw days. Just need your ATP-CTP completed and you're pretty much all set. Your ameriflight friend will be at a major carrier faster than ever before. The path doesn't necessarily go through the regionals anymore like it used to.

    New Bose Headset?

    The picture I saw looked like something out of tue QC family. Obviously it's just a teaser and not very revealing but it looked like a smaller form factor than the 20.

    Anyone else? Avionics nightmare, theft, sabotage

    Holy hell thats as bad as it gets. Sorry to hear. Also what the heck is a director of avionics ? Seems like a job that doesn't really need a title.

    Right seat time in Phenom 300e??

    Not only is it not useless I would hold you in higher regard than a pt121 regional jet SIC. Flying 135 you would get to see far more airports and gain a lot more valuable experience. In addition to that, as previously stated PIC time seems to not have the value it used to have. If your goal...

    Any skiers/snowboarders here? WTH happened to lift prices?

    Wow Snowy Range, that's a deep cut right there. I used to take my pawn shop Kemper there when I was in elementary school and Jr High.
