I’m wondering because my current boss does not take outside or random phone calls he isn’t expecting or does not know. Is this how they verify employment? Also, what if a previous employer either doesn’t answer or it’s been so long under new management that they wouldn’t know your name? My boss and upper management at a previous job all got fired or moved and nobody would even know who I am there.

I have a job that I want to stay at and work on my days off at WN. Before anyone comes for me - Yes, I know it will be hard and WN schedule will come first. Yes I know training is a month long and I’d be taking off a month.

Somebody told me on Facebook that they make you provide proof of resignation. I’m not sure if this is true because I know there’s a lot of nurses and teachers who work for WN.

I assume this rule only applies for people working for another airline? I’m wondering how true this statement was because some people said this was a rule and some people said it is not a rule as long as you can take time off at your other job to do training.

I know that high time means you get a lot of working hours in within a day of work versus multiple tiny trips, but can someone explain exactly what this would look like? More specifically for WN? Would it mean that instead of flying from BWI-MCO on day one and MCO-AUS on day two and AUS-BWI on day three, you’re flying from BWI to OAK and then OAK to BNA in the first day of the trip then BNA to CUN then turning back to BWI on day two/final day of the trip?

I had a lot of fillings done on my teeth 8 years ago. I will admit that my teeth were very yellow due to poor hygiene/lack of education on tooth care. I’ve come full circle and have a healthy mouth and go to the dentist every 6 months. Now, I have fillings that are still yellow from when my teeth are yellow, but my natural tooth structure is much, much lighter. The fillings are stable and in good condition, they just don’t match my current tooth color and haven’t matched them for years now.

Will dentists typically replace these if requested? Do they have to remove the entire filling or just the surface of the filling?

Hi everyone. I’ve tried to eat in calorie deficits several times the past couple years and have failed terribly. I always start out great, but I am CONSTANTLY hungry in a calorie deficit and I can’t stay in it because I start to crave unhealthy foods and then I cave and I binge because I’m starving.

I have no clue what to do or what to improve on. I have no clue where to start. The only foods I won’t eat are raw/uncooked veggies, they must be cooked. I also don’t do yogurt or cottage cheese.

Does anyone have words of advice?

I had to drop from my confined pool classes because I got overwhelmed during the mask off while breathing portion. I believe it was a sensory issue, between having my contacts in and also having the regulator bubbles shooting up my nose. I also felt pressured due to the quick pace of the class, and felt bad for the instructor having to work with me and holding the class behind. I could tell he was a little stressed about it which was stressing me out.

The instructor said I just needed more time. I wanted to cry, partially because I was embarrassed and also I was upset with myself. I felt like I’d do so well at this and I let myself down.

Well, they offered me time to work with the shop owner one on one for an hour to try and maybe work through the issue and get me ready for a later confined pool class. I meet with the owner today and I am feeling anxious.

I feel embarrassed and ashamed. I am probably overthinking it but I am worried that they feel harshly towards me. I also worry that I am being a nuisance/annoyance to them for needing the extra help. I’m 28 and grew up in swimming pools and spent plenty of time in the ocean. I really thought I’d be comfortable in the water enough to nail my open water without issues.

I guess I am just looking for advice from people who have either went through something similar or from dive instructors. I feel like I am being dumb and difficult.

I frequented The Beach when it was open. I’ve never been to Soak City but I’m curious if it’s similar or if it’s smaller/more child focused? I’m not sure if I should go to Soak City at Kings Island or if I should go to Zoombezi bay.

What is the likelihood that Breeze will open another Ohio crew base? I know PSA pretty much runs DAY… but I wonder if they will at some point get more crew bases near the area. Any thoughts? Apparently Breeze coming into DAY is a huge deal.

I am 28 with an extensive family history of autoimmune conditions in women. My mom, aunt and grandma all have multiple different autoimmune issues.

I sought out help from a GP after not going to the doctor for 10 years (Because I hate dismissive doctors). I told her about how my major joints ache symmetrically, that my tendons in my arms flare up, and that stress/poor sleep makes it worse. She ran my bloodwork and she saw that she suspects possible autoimmune. To the specialist I go!

My first appointment with my rheumatologist ended in my crying in my car. She acted confused when I told her my arthritis doesn’t just ache constantly and that it’s inflammation based. She tried bending and pushing on my joints and expected it to be “old people’s arthritis” (I don’t mean this offensively, I just don’t know how else to describe it) - Meaning it just hurts inside the socket and isn’t wear and tear.

She told me I’m too young. To just keep taking ibuprofen. She told me my bloodwork doesn’t show any autoimmune markers despite my GP saying it does.

I left upset. I felt dismissed.

In later appointments, she tested me for a gene that causes psoriatic arthritis - Came back negative. She took X-rays on my hips (the worst joints) - shows nothing. She straight up told me that she doesn’t know and can’t help me and I should just take ibuprofen.

I can’t stand and cook in my kitchen without being in a considerable amount of pain or my legs getting weak. I can’t walk or stand without being in pain. My legs tremble if I stand too long. My hips and knees are the worst but my elbows, wrists, shoulders, and ankles also flare up. I’m in pain every day. I take ibuprofen almost daily just to be able to be comfortable because the pain is so bad and so frequent.

I feel like I can’t get the help I need. I just want to do the things I used to be able to do without all of the pain and exhaustion it puts me into. The pain is a 7/10. It’s almost daily.

My rheumatologist seems to think that I have silly little aches and pains. This affects my daily life!!!!

I don’t even know what kind of arthritis can also cause my tendons in my arm to swell, bruise, and limit movement in my arms during a flare.

I truly don’t know what to do. I just want to be able to stand. It’s embarrassing to have to find the nearest chair at a festival because I’m in so much pain my legs are weak while my father in law twice my age is standing and not in any pain at all.

I want to take an unpaid leave of absence for a month just to recoup from burnout/mental health. I prefer not to go the FMLA route because I don’t want to burn PTO if I can help it. My job allows up to 6 months of an unpaid leave of absence. Maybe I am overthinking it, but I’m not sure how to ask for a LOA without sounding like I’m being lazy/don’t want to work. I just work a mentally exhausting desk job and I’m a full time college student on top of that and I need a break. I can’t even focus at work some days.

How exactly do their reserve block time frames work? I would have to commute to base with them, and I’m curious if they have a “later in the day” reserve shift that would allow me a good buffer to commute in the morning to be in base.

This weekend I found out that my brother, despite his long periods of exposure to loud sounds and music, has no tinnitus whereas I have tinnitus and I’m not sure why.

I had a hearing test done awhile back and they found no hearing loss.

My brother is a musician and has played with his band for years with no hearing protection.

Is there any causes of long term tinnitus that isn’t loud sound exposure? I have struggled with this for years and it’s never gone away.

The public pool near my house in Miamisburg is under construction and won’t open until next year. I need to find a public pool (preferably outside) in the area that isn’t only geared towards kids. By that I mean - I need access general depth pool and not just a kiddie pool/waterpark area. I have to practice skills for an underwater sport, solo. It must have a general depth pool area. I’m not sure what’s around down here as I just moved down here in the wintertime. The closer to Miamisburg/Centerville, the better.

I got flunked from my scuba course today because I just could not prevent water from entering my nose during the mask off breathing portion. No matter how hard I tried to plug it. No matter what I did. I can’t get my nose to seal and I get air coming in. I want to cry because I want to be certified so badly but it sucks that I feel physically incapable of plugging my nose and still breathing from my regulator with the mask completely off. I was so upset watching everyone else do it with ease and they all seem confused as to why I’m not capable of keeping my nostrils shut. I don’t know what to do 😢 I feel discouraged

What I know so far is:

First week is remote Mon-Fri
Second week is in person, either Mon-Thu or Tue-Fri
Third week is remote Mon-Fri
Fourth week is either Mon-Thu or Tue-Fri

I would like to know what a typical day is like during REMOTE. I know it’s a mixture of proctored quizzes, live lectures and self paced work, but what does this usually look like? Is it quizzes and modules until noon and then the other half of the day is live lectures? What does the daily structure of remote days look like and how are they split up?

Do you think that applying to SWA will be easier since they are getting more aircraft and also UA increased their pay? I know previously, they’d only keep windows open for 30 minutes because they get flooded since the pay was great. I’m wondering if future application windows will be open longer.
