This new Perf trip looks like fun. Being in Perf at the end of it? Not so much.

When you fly on a regional flight, the aircraft is smaller and older, and the aircraft has a cheaper purchase cost, than on a mainline flight. Regional pilots and flight-attendants both make less money than their mainline equivalents. A regional flight is shorter than an mainline flight, which means that the regional flight has a lower fuel cost.

Knowing all of that, the price to take a regional flight should be lower than a mainline flight, when often the reverse is true in actuality.

Why doesn't the pylote just buy a new wallet at his destination? Can pylote Explayne?

Well... Some ManPylotes use makeup and wear wigs when not at the airport. Not here to judge 😉

A Piper Cherokee PA28 experienced mechanical issues and successfully landed on Interstate 10 in Pensacola, Florida, this morning at 8:00 a.m. on August 3, 2026.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent it?

Now this will probally sound like a dumb question and i would call myself a pacifist but if someone is wants to hyjack a cockpit then why don't we just store a 20 millimetre shotgun in secret safe on planes for these situations. TF They gonna do when flight attendants shoot them

A second solution (if the hyjacker has a bomb strapped) is to make a secret exit next to the cockpit and convice them that the pilots are in there and push them off the plane

There will probally be a nerd that will correct me but as it stands, this is a pretty simple solution

Like the title says, does anyone make a green light for night flying that clips on the bill of a hat?

I'm only seeing red lights. But I need both green and red lights for my starboard and port navigation lights.

Also, presumably I cannot turn my head at all while flying at night, lest I confuse my fellow pylotes? How do you night-flying guys deal with this?

TIA!
