Here so I don’t get fined
I would have thought the moustache was warning enough.Wait, you let a child near Gulley? Did no one warn you?

AS has it for learning flows but there is so much more potential there.
I figure its best he meets my daughter now as an infant than 2 decades from now out in the field. Create some sense of shame and awkwardness that hopefully won't get swept away by bourbon. All I can do is try.Wait, you let a child near Gulley? Did no one warn you?
Nature's way of saying "Don't accept candy or anything inside this guy's van".I would have thought the moustache was warning enough.
Lol I was nervous with stalls as a 16 year old with 4 or 5 hours and my CFI had me do almost an hour of rollercoaster stall after stall after stall out over the Crystal Springs practice area between SFO and HAF long ago. Of course it had to be on an uncommonly very hot and bumpy day. My stomach was in knots for a day or two and I had to lay down on the sidewalk waiting for my mom to come pick me up, but the next time I was on a roller coaster, I didn't feel it much. Then forever after. It worked. HahaHow do you teach dropping a wing? My CFI allowed that to happen organically during stall during Commercial. He said during slow flight stay off the rudders, use ailerons after I dipped the wing and almost spun us. He said that most training planes are inherently stable (especially the DA-40 were we in) he said push the nose forward. Or just let go of the yoke and it will stabilize. I tried it and he was right. But power on stalls was my weak point during training, because they honestly scared the • out of me. We were nose high and slow and the controls were squishy and could easily lead to a spin, if not properly stabilized. Learning that gave me the confidence to be able to do stalls in general, better and with more confidence.
Nope. Full on VR goggles.For real? I assume you aren't just talking about the pre-recorded training videos here?

We knew this was inevitable!Wait, wut?

Some years back Gulley was in LAS and gave my nephew a personal tour of his Challenger. At the time my nephew was really into MSFS. That was so awesome for him to do that. Love that dude.

@ChasenSFO you're legally allowed to procreate???Samesies. What bit of news did I miss?
Naw they live in the training centeroh wow. do you get to keep them?
They were just finishing installing two stationary FFSes - not FDTs, dunno what they’re called, but EASA certifies them - when I was at our schoolhouse a few days ago.I don't think that, they'd replace a full motion sim.
I still feel like that’s not too bad compared to the stories I heard when I got to the regionals and even before. Pre COVID 2019ish that’s about the flight time I started getting calls and even then it was on the low side compared to other candidates.It’s a big Rube Goldberg advice. The only “shortage” was regional captains, which created a certain amount of synthetic scarcity up the food chain for pilots.
Basically todays “low time pilot” at the upper echelon of employers are in the 3-4000 hour mark.
This is probably one of the most missed parts about being in the cargo world. There’s something about seeing that spark in a kids eye when they visit the flight deck. It seemed that most could care less about visiting up front in recent years though.Good on you - I'm always trying to convince my kids to ask to go up. One is growing too cool for it, but the other is always down. Had a great UA FO on a delay last year who spent a lot of time giving my very tech inclined son an overview of the cockpit. She even texted me photos of him, which was nice.

I pray to god we never go back to times like this.Man, just go back to 2010ish when I joined here, every job available post was like “corporate pilot, aircraft manager wanted.

Surprisingly, you don’t need a license for that.@ChasenSFO you're legally allowed to procreate???![]()
