    How to become a regional airline pilot ?

    I'm guessing you are not the type to just bid long-call, but I assume you are also at a point in seniority where you could minimize your work days if you wanted to. Your participation in the training side of course is a choice that most don't make either.

    Tree limb landed on my electrical service..

    I don't envy the capacity, as I have similar, but I envy the symmetry 🤣

    Most reliable used simple/basic vehicle

    Yeah I'd say really any Honda/Acura with the K24 would be a good bet.

    How to become a regional airline pilot ?

    Competition is somewhat high right now to get hired, as hiring has slowed over the last 6 months. Just because you hit the mins doesn't guarantee you a job. For example, holding an MEI is becoming a necessary differentiator to be competitive even though it's not a minimum requirement. Regional...

    2025 JD Power Initial Quality Study

    You beat me to it. IMO that alone gives credibility issues to the types of charts.

    Acura Crankshaft/Bearing Recall

    VCM has been around forever now on the J35, and in much worse iterations before that caused a multitude of issues, however not bearing failure. The J35 is not a prevalent fuel diluter either, so I doubt those directly contributed to the bearing issue.

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    I am way too OCD to ever do that.

    It appears that you invested well when you bought it!

    Torque Test Channel - Grippiest Oil Filter Tool

    IMO this is the superior choice, which was not tested. Of course it's filter-specific, but it was like $3 so why not have one for every filter you service.

    Societal addiction to phones

    A few years ago the university here did this all the way down the median of the main drag except for at crosswalks. Now it's much easier to drive through campus.

    King Air sticks the landing…..

    Yeah I'm not sure why they were so slow in the first place considering they were in a decent. Plenty of available power on the operative engine, whether simulated OEI or actual, to maintain well above what was indicated on the track log.

    2025 CX-5 rental review

    Compressed audio is compressed audio...unless you actually are playing FLAC or the like off your phone and not streaming? Even then, with the noise in a moving vehicle there's no point.

    Storage vehicles fluids in hot garage

    Why an issue for the filters? You think the gasket is going to go bad or something? Oil filters are exposed to a temperature spread of 300 degrees where I live when installed on a vehicle, and I don't have failures.

    Interesting unverified statistic- if you earn more than $30k USD annually

    This. People here, in general, that complain how hard it is to get by need to remember that a faucet dispensing clean water in their home is a luxury for a large portion of the world.

    Chase Raises Sapphire Reserve Price to $795 Annually, Up $245

    No fee cards are fine, but often higher fee cards offer more benefits that easily exceed the fees charged. Of course it depends on the use case.

    Chase Raises Sapphire Reserve Price to $795 Annually, Up $245

    Look at getting a Venture X instead. $395 annual, no additional cardholder fees, and most all of the same benefits that you listed. Doing nothing it pays for itself every year with a $300 travel credit and 10k mile annual anniversary bonus. 10x points on hotels and 5x on flights booked through...
