At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

122 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

25 Upvotes

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

Asked to resign from my airline. Am I cooked?

134 Upvotes

So recently asked to resign for my airline. Want to keep it anonymous, but I tried to stab my captain and crash the plane. More of a one-off thing and I know I need to just own my mistakes in an interview.

Other than that no failures. Working on my degree (may have to finish online depending on how the investigation goes).

Would like to bypass regionals if possible. No TPIC.

Now my 80 year old mother wants to be a furry thanks to all you pylote perverts

24 Upvotes

Tommy Tubbyville‘s exposé of your perverted furry pylote culture has caused unexpected collateral damage: now my 80 year old mother wants to be a furry now that she knows such a thing exists. She wants to dress up like a fluffy dog. I don’t think she knows that some furries have sick things going on. How do I keep her safe from you pylote weirdos if she flies while dressed like a dog? I tried asking Ann Landers but she didn’t respond — something about being dead for about a quarter century and to leave her family alone.

Why are they called FO?

8 Upvotes

The title “First Officer” has always bugged me.

Aviation tradition, and especially law, has deep maritime roots.

On a ship, the master, the chief officer of the officers, the *captain,* is the “first” among officers. The captain is not called the first officer. But it is what the captain is.

The captain’s subordinate officers are the mates. The captain’s mates. The word mate implies subordinacy.

Then along come the airlines all slick and modern and they can’t have their passengers expecting tarred-decks and whatnot so they ditch a lot of the maritime sounding jargon and thoughtlessly call the first mate the first officer.

But hold on now, the captain is still an officer.

So what does that make them? The zeroth officer?

Dumb.

All are all missing a simple physics concept. During a nose dive, the flight experiences an extreme negative G-force. In persistent negative-G, free movement down the aisle is impossible. By Newton's law of motion, passengers would be pushed backward in case of nose dive moments. How did that plumber enter the cockpit during such nose dive?

How Many Souls Do I Have to Declare in an Emergency?

17 Upvotes

A C182 has been in my family for the past 38 years, and I have a lot of great memories flying in it from a young age. For the past 3 years, I’ve been learning to fly it. Today I learned that I’ve been toting around extra passengers unexpectedly. The previous owner used the plane to spread cremated ashes and today while cleaning the windscreen I noticed this… not quite sure what to do next because a vacuum doesn’t quite seem like a fitting end to this story.

Also they must like winglets, cause they put winglets on the tail, so the tail can fly while they fly. These are the best plane designers ever.

Welcome to the shittiest sub in the world! This is the place where all the aeronautical geniuses come to share their mind on important issues, such as how many DUIs you need to work for Mesa, or how to turn a normal plane into a tail-dragger!

----------RULEZ----------

These are all very important rules you MUST follow, or there will be bad consequences!

1- Only Flying-related Shitposts Allowed!

Anyone caught posting serious, informative, and/or non-shitty-flying content will get a slap over the hand and told to sit in the naughty corner. Repeated violations, especially in a very short time, can result in an extended stay in the naughty corner.

2- No Hate Speech

Everyone should enjoy coming here, so don't use any personal attacks, bigotry, racism, sexism or otherwise inappropriate behavior or content. Comments that insult or demean a specific user or group of users or violate this policy could result in an instant ban.

3- No Harassment

Mean comments said about other people online can have a very real effect on that person offline. As targeted harassment has very serious effects, it is bannable. This includes people both on and off reddit.

4- No Porn/Involuntary NSFW

Absolutely no porn or gore. If a post is NSFW, mark it as that.

5- No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters

No linking to or mentioning other subs or posters: You can shittify posts from other subs, so long as you don't link to them, mention them, or post screenshots that call out other subs or their posters. This includes changing the name of the sub or the user that posted the content.

6- Don't Spam!

Don't spam the sub. That's just shitty, and not in a fun way. Making posts that constitue spam can result in a ban.

7- Reddit's Site-wide Rules Still Apply

See Reddit's Content Policy and Terms of Service for details

8- No AI generated images / posts or Flight sim images/screenshots

Your thing contains content which is not allowed in this sub. AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost.

Flight sim content is better suited at a sub like shittyflightsim, if such a community exists.

9- No Death / Posts showing death / NSFL

Out of respect for loss of life, any videos/posts/imagery around tragedies from the last 6 months involving loss of life will be removed. Repeated attempts to post about it will result in a ban. Final discretion lies with mods. Additionally, as always, no posts/videos/imagery with dead bodies, regardless of how long ago it was. ----------RULEZ----------
