Given the choice, would you rather:
Drive from Southern NH to LGA, which is about 4.5 hours
or
Drive to Boston, which including parking and taking the bus is 1.5 hours, then commute off-line to LGA?
Door to door the time is almost exactly the same.

I’m 32 years old and currently working as an accountant. I’ve always wanted to go to flight school and become a pilot, but I never pursued it because of money/relationships/ any other excuse I could think of to not pursue my passion. I’m looking for an honest answer here. Is it too late for me to become a pilot for a major airline? Too late as in, am I too old?

I’ll cut to the chase, I’m not the best moderator. I’d love it if another airline person would come in and help.
Big plus if you’ve got some mod experience.
Shoot me a PM if you’re interested!

Hi, I’m a Sophomore in High school and have a few questions about getting hired at airlines. I know it’s pretty far away but, I want to get this figured out so I know what schools to visit and what major to plan on. Context: I am moving into Junior year and am starting training for my PPL very soon.
Here are my questions:
What degree (if any) did you interview with at airlines/what do you recommend?
Are specific schools/degrees preferred over others?
Did you have a backup plan if being a pilot didn’t work out? Do you wish you did?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hey everyone, just a quick post before I make a final decision, wanted an outside view and would appreciate it if anyone could contribute.

I live in Anchorage but looking for an opportunity to move out of the state to the lower 48. Is anybody at united have a feel on what morale is like right now? Anyone every been in a simular situation? I think looking at second year pay for united compared to our new Alaska contract gives me some hesitation to jump, but I ..read more

Hello guys and girls, maybe i can find an answer to this question this way. I'm flying for a big european carrier out of Germany mainly to the south of Europe.
Everytime we fly via France and check into French airspace we can continue to our cleared waypoint as cleared. After maybe maybe 1 or 2 minutes the controller tells us to "maintain present heading" sometimes adding something like "for separation" to it but not all the time. We continue to fly on that heading for maybe 4/5 minutes till we a cleared to continue to our previously cleared waypoint. While we are flying on that heading we ar ..read more
