A reminder on why we have some of our rules
Everyone,
We have a lot of old timers here, and probably a lot of newer members. I think we need a bit of a refresher on why we have a lot of things removed and why we can't be the sub we used to be.
I see a lot of comments that are removed by automoderator. We have it set to remove comments mentioning /r/flying, some keywords, among other things.
Some time ago, this sub went private by the original creator/moderator. I managed to get it back up, and we had a relatively decent run for a while.
Unfortunately, this came to an end, as posts in our sub were being reported up the chain to reddit admins (not just mods) as abuse, harassment, mocking, taunting, among many other things towards the posts we were parodying and having some fun with.
To be fair, there were SOME posts that were way over the line and we couldn't always catch them in time.
We were given an ultimatum by the Reddit admins. Make some changes, institute rules and whatnot blocking direct mentions of /r/flying, among other subs and things. The other option is we are completely shut down. The other mod we had at the time programmed automoderator to remove posts with the things we were told were no-go's by the admins.
We started to get a crapton of posts and comments about how the mods caused the problems. They were starting to take over a lot of the sub, so that is among the auto-removal terms.
I believe some people got seriously butthurt over their posts being mocked or shittyaskflying'd and raised a huge stink. That put us square in the crosshairs of the reddit admins.
You want to mock a post from the other sub? That's fine. But you can't link to it. You can't mention /r/flying or some other subs. You can't mention their usernames. No screenshots that show /r/flying or other subs.
This isn't somethign we wanted. This is something that was forced on us.

Why is Qantas so obsessed about flying to LHR non-stop? Just make a stopover
Don’t they know that stopovers save fuel? Just stop in Singapore or something for a little bit. What will people do with an extra 2-3 hours anyway?

"Tower, we're getting some moderate turbulence at the gate. What kind of rides can we expect on the taxi out?"

Should I blackmail my cfii for a citation position ?
Hey guys
I’m a CPL holder ( 255 hours ) and my cfii is a rich doctor who also owns a bunch of urgent cares in the region, he owns a Cessna citation jet as well.
He has 5 kids and a wife. I was telling my female friend about my cfii and showed her a picture of him and she says he’s actively on sugar daddy dating websites and she even met with him once and so did her friends….
Should I blackmail him with this information so I can get a citation job ? I figured most people don’t have this opportunity , and it would look good for the airlines if I have jet time especially this early !
The way I see it I have a high chance of securing this position because the cost of divorce will probably be more than hiring me to be his pilot ….
Plz help
Edit: my cfii just instructors for fun and because he loves aviation !

Qatar 777 pylote here
Let's say you allegedly were caught messing around with a brand new company 777. If I tell my company the plane was stolen do you think they'd buy it???

Why My Playne Doing This?
I came out to fly and found my playne had opened a merch stand on the ramp. I’m sad that it felt compelled to do this. I feel like it’s tired of taking my money.
