For anyone about to start training I highly recommend the A320 Cockpit app for iOS.

You can get spirit specific limitations, memory items and flows. Plus has interactive descriptions of every switch and lights. It’s $40 but worth it. Makes it easy to study while on a trip or a commute.

I even had to have a talk with the grandmothers and wife about posting pics of the kids online. They both gave me attitude but I don’t need the world knowing where we go and when. Anyone you don’t feel comfortable sending a pic in a text anyway isn’t your really a friend and worst case they’re a predator. How well do you know cousin Bobby anyway?

It sucks though because the world expects you to have a FB account do certain things instead of communicating another more personal way.

Rant over sorry

I actually agree with this post! Been social media free for awhile now. No more “daddy put your phone down” from kiddos! I call and text the folks I care about.

Now you have to join FB to find old airline people at a company you want to get hired at?

WtF ever happened to having people’s phone numbers and communicating directly instead of some social network group BS.

Hell, you can’t even sell stuff now without being on the FB marketplace

I hate the internet.

I can’t disagree with any of this.

While I’m at it, I also hate touch screens in cars....

I realize my posts are completely incoherent when ranting with autocorrect.
