Sir_Fondles Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 " Renee Steinaker, sued Southwest Airlines last year for emotional distress, negligence, invasion of privacy and sexual harassment. ".. Did they watch her in the dunny flicking the bean or something ?

Shaksey Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Haha, I had a PPL, IRR, and MEP many years ago and let them lapse. To be blunt, flying small a/c is boring af and nowadays expensive af too. I wish I had learnt PPL (H) instead but that is now even more expensive af. Insurance for doing anything interesting, since the Shoreham crash is astronomical in the UK. I know a Senior BA Captain who cannot now get reasonable insurance to fly a Yak ffs.

I flew sailplanes for about ten years. Loved it, and it was relatively inexpensive as I owned my ship. At one point I took instruction for SEL, but stopped once I soloed as I decided the expense was not worth the thrill of flying, especially when I could get the same thrill for a lot less in a sailplane. My 17m Open Cirrus. 2 2

My 17m Open Cirrus. Dam Force, this was yours and the one you referred to in the Lake Tahoe thread I should try over the Sierra Nevada Mountains? Comfortable enough for 2 people, looks small, any claustrophobic problems? Edited February 18, 2020 by Yessongs

Looks about the same size as an ASK21 twoseater, small but not claustrophobic because of the clear all around view (I've been a passenger in one a couple of times). 1

Comfortable enough for 2 people, looks small, any claustrophobic problems? My flight over the Sierra Nevada range was a rental. The Cirrus is a single seater. No problems with claustrophobia as it's a fairly large cockpit. Strange thing is, I'm scared of heights, but for some reason flying doesn't trigger that fear. Pic of the cockpit. The trailer in the foreground is the ship's home when I wasn't flying her. Pic of myself and a friend catching a thermal over Hartford, WI (HXF), our home airport 2 2
Horizondave Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Back in the early 80s I learned to fly at Meacham airfield in Texas. Remember sitting at the holding point at Lovefield Dallas alongside a Southwest Airlines 737, I was in a small Cessna 172 and I got the go before the female pilot in the 737. She gave me a thumbs up, maybe the same lady and she has felt emotionally stressed ever since.
