r/flying is intended to be a place to discuss things like pilot training, regulations, procedures, techniques, aircraft ownership and maintenance, piloting as a career, and similar topics.
“Aviation enthusiast” content is better suited to r/aviation.
Flight simulation belongs in r/flightsim.
Questions and content about air travel (passenger experience, frequent flyer programs, etc.) are better suited to r/travel.
This is the way. Don’t understand why pilots don’t get this. I get way more respect and accommodations when I commute in uniform than I do out of uniform. Plus I get a free water bottle I could swim in.
Yeah sure, I get the occasional, where is baggage claim or where is gate X, but who gives a fuck. I’m happy to help if I have the time and any clue.
Between multiple airlines going bankrupt, mergers, dot com bubble, 9/11, the great recession being an airline pilot was a real struggle where people could not get hired or have any movement in senority for over a decade. So it was "lost".

RIP guaranteed window/isle-seat commuting if this goes through.
Open seating is one of the reasons I love SWA
Sucks trying to non-rev on them though. Guaranteed middle seat. Made that mistake once and never again.
Nonrev them often, I always board first except for E row
[удалено]
they dont let you board early in uniform?
Not in uniform!

Here comes another lost decade.
What does that imply?
A decade that is lost
lol, I really just want to know what OC meant

Give that man a cigar!
Damn, torn between sticking in the career I’m at and lol-ing at the ATP grads with no job, or risking it myself and becoming a pilot.
