When you start, if you have any concerns about your CFI or the flight school as a whole feel free to post here again or DM me directly and I can help point out any red flags.

I'm a CFI and airline pilot. Based on your situation LSA sounds like a good fit for you and it seems like you've done your research. In terms of interviewing an instructor it just depends on what you are looking for out of an instructor. If you're worried about them having a certain personality or teaching style it may require you just paying for a lesson with them. You could maybe start with a ground lesson such as a practice oral exam or something like that. Or you could just go straight into a first flight lesson/discovery flight type of thing and get a feel of them. At no point during your flight training are you forced to continue training with any instructor. The hours you will build during flight training is valuable experience that will count towards your progression as a pilot and towards getting your ratings. If you get 20 hours in and you realize the instructor isn't a fit for you, then just stop scheduling lessons with them and find someone else. If they're cordial you could even be direct with them and just ask if they know any other instructors you could fly with because you need to experience a different teaching style. Most people in aviation are great, caring people who want to see others progress and be successful in their flight training.

Same here, it was cool to see they've come to Lemmy as well. I would occasionally pull up reddit every few months to peep on development of this game and now that's one less time I feel inclined to use that god awful website.

I work for a unionized airline and a lot of people bitch and moan that we have to pay dues roughly equal to 2% of our income. I always remind people that our non-unionized competitor pays their employees a flat 10% less than we get paid. So we make more, get union protection, and a ton of other benefits by being unionized. I have no problem paying union dues.

This is great. Are you planning on adding categories for specific kinks?

I'm an airline pilot and it's funny how many people I work with that tell me they don't want to move on to work with United and Delta because they have gone "woke". United and Delta have always had the best pay and benefits and I've been shocked to see how many people put their own bigotry and racism before working for a company that will give you the best quality of life and pay.

Do you just call everyone pretentious who says something you don't like? Lol

I have such a hard time understanding why anyone would vote no to it tbh. I was very anti-sailing at first, I wanted shamanism and taming more. When sailing beat out those two I just watched every video and Q&A the dev team put out to understand the skill more and it made me realize the dev team is gonna make this an incredible product for us. We are seriously so fortunate to have such a passionate and talented dev team behind this game. I am beyond excited to see what they do with this.

[–] Jardthebard 5 points 1 year ago

I think the dev team is in top notch shape. Everyone is killing it lately. They're communicating great, game jam has been a slam dunk, all around things are looking good.

 

I feel like I'm struggling to keep up with what's going on in the game unless I check the old school website periodically for news because I don't scroll reddit anymore. I honestly have no idea what the community is up to anymore and it sucks because I enjoyed being apart of the community and the game is kinda losing some touch for me. I'm not in a clan but I do primarily play a GIM in an active group and if it weren't for that I'd probably have quit for a while.
