Re: [MBZ] OT, for the fly boys on the list

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I had been seeing and hearing that the regionals are hiring like mad right now 
and you can get thru training and hired in about 2 years. They are supposedly 
starting out at 60k a year for FO and upgrade to captain within 18 months with 
huge sign on bonuses. I would not think a 40 year old would ever make it to the 
majors though.

Re: [MBZ] OT, for the fly boys on the list

[G Mann via Mercedes]

At 40+ the uphill struggle gets "more uphill". Lots of young pups with
plenty of vigor competing for the slot you want.
It takes time to build the hours necessary to fly "commercial class"
aircraft. Those hours are most often build flying as a flight instructor,
or hauling freight, or something less desirable than "flying the big ones
loaded with passengers.."  Expect 8 to 10 years before anyone will look at
hiring him for a co-pilot slot in a heavy, after working his way up the
ladder flying regional airlines and such...
Type certifications typically cost around $35,000.00 and they are "on your
nickle" most often... bigger aircraft cost more... then, there  is the
issue of flight physical... Is he healthy? Will he stay healthy past 55?
ATP rated pilots [airline transport pilot] require a First Class Medical
exam every 90 days... anything less than perfect... you have a problem at
payday... cause you can't fly.

It's a tough life. How many ex wives does he have? Flying takes you away
from home a lot.. women don't "store well". etc etc..

This is not necessarily for me but was talking about it with a friend today.

change to commercial pilot.

Re: [MBZ] OT, for the fly boys on the list

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Rent the plane AND the instructor pilot while you learn. Capital outlay
will be less, your pace will be more relaxed, and you will learn more.

Qualifying for a pilots license isn't like a car driving license. Takes
much longer and involves many more details that must be done "just right"
or you die. There are no "parking lots" in the sky where you "pull over
and sort it out". All aircraft wrecks start on the ground before you take
off. Find a good Certified Flight Instructor and stick with them.

Grant...
Commercial Pilot, fixed wing and helicopter, Multi Engine,  Instrument,
Restricted Aircraft endorsements, multiple type certificates, low level
aerobatic endorsements. etc etc etc.
I've spent a considerable amount of time not in contact with the ground,
earning a living. You will know in first 10 hours flying with instructor if
you really want to do it.
And, remember, take all the letters in the word "aviation" and you will
never spell "cheap" with them... ;))

Re: [MBZ] Getting fan shroud out of W124 E300D/2.5 Turbo

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Harbor Freight blue nitrile gloves, my stock purchase from them nearly every 
visit.  I would go with the black ones but they last too long, meaning when I’m 
done they’re not, so they can get thrown away and wasted.

I glove up for just about every operation on the car, and if I have to use 
multiple pairs, so be it. Saves on hands and cleanup.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Window Weatherstrip Temporary Fix

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

The aluminum is very difficult to get out because the rubber is rock hard, you 
have to very carefully pry it loose.  Probably need to cut the rubber to remove 
it, it won't come out very easily.

The new seals are much softer -- put on the glass, insert the straightened and 
cleaned up aluminum, and lace in per instructions.

You want a set of those suction cups on a stick to manage the window, else it 
takes three people.

Blue nitrile gloves are 7 mil thick... Black nitrile gloves are 9 mil
thick. Which I now use, They last much better through the mechanical abuse.
[Check the box of gloves you buy, your source may vary from mine.]

I started loosening the power steering pump -- which is MUCH easier than

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Window Weatherstrip Temporary Fix

[Rdeafboy via Mercedes]

Happy Snowy Spring !!  In November when I had last chance good weather at about 
60 degrees I tackled my cracked window weatherstrips.  Since I was repairing a 
cracked hip roof connection on a small shed [prefab with NO tar paper lining] 
with Flex Seal Liquid in black, I decided to coat my weatherstrips on my 83 
240D . I slipped cut to size/taped to length manila folders behind to catch the 
drips..   I put on two coats giving it 24 hours to dry between each coat.  WOW 
!! After this snowy winter I had no leakage !  This stuff flows well enough to 
put it on with a small artist brush. Funny thing is I bought two good 
weatherstrips on Ebay years ago & never put them in .. Why? . I practiced in a 
junkyard removing the Aluminum trim & it wasn't easy !!  BTW I did the drivers 
side front & rear window for the winter. I'm impressed.  I also bought the 4" 
black tape for other stuff & tried cutting it with scissors..NOPE...had to PRY 
the scissors off  LOL.  Cut with razor & good luck getting it off your fingers 
when you apply it...Clean the brush/remove with lacquer thinner  BTDTIf 
anybody has tips on alum.trim removing I'm all earsyeah right !!

Re: [MBZ] Goobers new attack by proxy

I, for one, am glad that OkiBenz is platform-agnostic.
These things have a way of working out.  Expect to see competition (small at 
first) to tech monopolies, soon.  I know several firearms training programs 
currently use the tube site, just because it's there.  But these days there is 
no real reason not to self-host.  Personally, I don't use or care about the 
fakebook time suck.  Now, Google is another matter.

Re: [MBZ] 400E Catch Up

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Not presently.  I like this car too well to let it go right now.  Maybe in the 
future when I tire of it, but for now I plan on enjoying it for a while.  Nice 
to have a solid spare driver, and the youngster is flying the coop shortly, so 
I’ll have a good spot to store it once he’s gone.

It still has things it needs, but it’s stuff that can wait and be done at my 
leisure.

[MBZ] Goobers new attack by proxy

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

It appears that "we the people" need to build alternates to the wacko 
owned and operated internet companies, such as fakebuch, youboob, 
instacram, and the other zuckster companies, along with kookle, and 
other companies owned and shaped by kollyfonia kooks.


Goobers (primarily D) are using the zuckster to willingly enforce, by 
proxy, their attack on amendments 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and probably 9 and 10.


Apparently, youboob has announced they will ban videos demonstrating far 
arms.

Re: [MBZ] '90 560 SE L on BAT OMG $20k with 6 hrs. left

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Transmission shop scam.

Right after I got the 300D, I took it to the trans shop to see about 
replacing seals.   It would puke a qt or 3 randomly when parked.  (TX 
car, Autohaus, Dallas, as is my 81 240D)


They told me the trans was shot, blah,blah

I drove off while they were still telling me the sky was falling. 
(shop owned by the local JF church high ups)


The car has over 300k now, it was under 150k at the time.   Trans is 
still fine.  I put a can of the seal softener stuff in it and drove it.

Re: [MBZ] 400E Catch Up

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Figured out the speaker, and it was just as I suspected.

The crossover capacitor in the smaller high frequency drivers was shorted.  I 
clipped one end of it to take it out of the circuit and I now have the large 
driver working again.  Probably wasn’t doing the amp any favors running into a 
short, either.

Drove the car to work today, a really nice ride.

I’ll probably do the transmission fluid and filter and the spark plugs this 
weekend, and that will wind things down.  New windshield on Monday, then all is 
well for the most part.

Re: [MBZ] Getting fan shroud out of W124 E300D/2.5 Turbo

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

There is another method of securing the fan that was on my 603 diesel that 
might be present on yours:

On or near the top of the water pump housing behind the pulley are a couple of 
ribs cast into the housing. Using these as a stop, a piece of rod stock about 
3/16” in diameter, bent into a short “L” shape with the bottom end of the “L” 
being maybe 1/2” long or slightly longer, is placed up against one of these 
ribs and the end of the rod going into a hole in the back of the pulley or 
flange.

Hope that makes sense *and* it’s something that’s on your car.
