I've posted part this proposal in a reply and it generated quite some discussion, so I decided to post it in full here. Basically, the goal is to design the most economical phonological system possible for a reasonably general variety of North American English. My proposal (now updated thanks to u/tundersepp) uses merely 18 16 consonantal and 6 vowel phonemes, for a total inventory size of 24 22, as follows:

Consonantal phonemes: /p, t, k, f, v, θ, ð, s, z, ʃ, ʒ, m, n, ŋ, j, w, ɹ, h/

Aspirated plosives are taken as clusters /ph, th, kh/, with syllable-final cluster reduction possible to render [p, t, k]. Unaspirated ("voiced") plosives, <b, d, g>, are taken as /p, t, k/, with optional voicing assimilation to [b, d, g]. Affricates <ch, j> are taken as clusters /tʃ, dʒ/ /thj, tj/.

EDIT: Original /ʃ, ʒ/ can actually be written as /sj, zj/; no minimal or near-minimal pairs exist, and the choice is justifiable based on reasons of historical (a word like <sure> /sjʊɹ/ was once indeed pronounced [sjʊɹ]), articulatory (/s/ is the voiceless alveolar fricative, /j/ is the palatal approximant, and /ʃ/ is the voiceless palato-alveolar fricative), and comparative nature (in accents that do not drop the yod, <sue> can be pronounced identically to <shoe>). For much the same reasons, original /thʃ, tʒ/ (previously mistakenly transcribed /tʃ, dʒ/) can be written as /thj, tj/. I am however aware that many speakers have voicing, rather than aspiration, as the main contrasting feature between <ch, j> , so an alternative transcription that might be more adequate for them is /tsj, tzj/. Also, it should be added that for speakers who do not merge <whine> with <wine>, the onset of the former may be taken as /hw/.

Vowel phonemes: KIT /ɪ/, DRESS /ɛ/, TRAP /æ/, merged PALM-LOT-THOUGHT /ɑ/, STRUT /ʌ/, FOOT /ʊ/

Traditional long vowels/diphthongs are taken as sequences of monophthongs + /j, w, ɹ/, consistent with the binary notation adopted e.g. by the Atlas of North American English:

Upgliding: FLEECE /ɪj/, FACE /ɛj/, PRICE /æj/ /ɑj/, MOUTH /ɑw/ /æw/, GOAT /ʌw/, GOOSE /ʊw/, CHOICE /ʊj~ɑj/

R-diphthongs: NEAR /ɪɹ/, SQUARE /ɛɹ/, START /ɑɹ/, merged NORTH-FORCE-CURE /ʊɹ/

NURSE is interpreted merely as a vocalic /ɹ/, or else as /ʌɹ/. Finally, commA, lettER, and happY are not taken as phonemic and interpreted as unstressed allophones of STRUT KIT, NURSE, and FLEECE~~~

For example:

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (I choose this as an example because there is an English version of it)

I already know that games aren’t region locked for the PS3. If I buy the Japanese version and pop it into my NA console, would the game run in English or Japanese?

And the first new Christmas stamps are now in their Stores :

• Australia, White Christmas
• New Zealand, Pavlova
• Indonesia, Klappertaart
• Philippines, Bibinga

All of those are Premium, region limited.

And it's nice to see their price has been Discounted -- they are selling for 25 Coins each, which we expected would be the case later, if they appear on the Time Machine as usual.

Discounted prices for the new Christmas Regional stamps !

So no wait required to save some coins. Available NOW, the European issues should come out overnight as well, after Midnight local hours.

Edited : As shown by the screen capture above, these stamps can also be GIFTED - so you could send one to a good pen pal friend if desired.

And as the Clock ticks, all the other Regional stamps arrived.

The complete list of 20 new Premium Regional Christmas stamps (all of them described here) is now available in their respective country's stamp stores.

All of them are 25 Coins each, available only until Dec 26.

In Europe, that includes : Czechia, Poland, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom.

In the Americas, United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Chile, Venezuela.

In Asia and Oceania, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Philippines.

The Three stamps without Country Codes

...turned out to be local to France, Spain and New Zealand.

edit : Updated post with new arrivals all over the world.

Had an epiphany yesterday. Since we (at least I) Americans don't pronounce the t at the end of "can't," the only way I differentiate is the time I take to hold out the vowel. Can=Ca-an while Can't=Can. For some time I thought I differentiated using a glottal stop but I think this is more accurate. Is this something that's discussed in the linguistics community?

EDIT: Didn't realize so many people would be this interested! Thanks for all the feedback. I now also realize that I pronounce the vowels differently. Can=[kɪn] Can't=[keən(unaspirated t)] or something similar (sorry, I don't know IPA well. EDIT: Someone asked for a recording of my dialect. Here is me saying this:

1. "can"
2. "can't"
3. "I can do it"
4. "I can't do it"
5. "We can agree"
6. "We can't agree"

Example: "He's makin' a lotta noise!", "Dis is sum' good eatin'!", etc.

Ah, English. One of the languages that has a HUGE mismatch between its orthography and phonology. Let's clean it up, shall we? We'll do it BY MAKING EVERYTHING INTO MULTIGRAPHS! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Assuming two adjacent identical consonants in the same syllable, a consonant cluster does not form. Meanwhile, ee, oo, and aa (baa, bazaar, aah) each sound different from e, o, and a. (I can't find an ii word where it doesn't lead to another syllable, and words like vacuum and muumuu could otherwise be spelled with one u in those syllables.)

1: What are other languages that do this? I know Spanish, and of course ll and rr are digraphs for sounds different from what's represented by l and r.

2: For any language + writing system that does this, why is this the case?

Week 11? I don't know lol. I got busy. This is will be my second to last week/post. Things are going so well now, and jobs seem to be flowing beautifully.

Hiring: (pretty much everyone except Piedmont and Horizon)

As of now I’m seeing actively hiring:

Skywest

Republic

PSA

Endeavor

Air Wisconsin (now you can go without ATP)

GoJet

Mesa (ATP holders supposedly going first)

CommutAir

Envoy

Who is getting jobs/interviews now.

Everyone. Literally everyone. (except Piedmont)

I personally know a few folks have gotten offers from Endeavor.

PSA is on the ball. They have new hires going in like crazy.

Air Wisconsin and Gojet have both upped their game considerably. They are really pushing to fill classes now.

Skywest is inviting pilots to do their first round interviews.

Republic is still working through their list from last year it seems.

Commutair seems to be a bit quiet.

News/rumor mill.

Horizon is supposedly getting ready to start hiring soon. If your dream is to move into Alaska, your time will be coming soon

Piedmont isn't really hiring now. I literally got an email from them saying so.

Canadians? Do you all have anything to report?

Summary of last couple weeks

Last time to now has seen a huge growth in hiring. We aren't at the "fog a mirror and come on board" point just yet, but that won't be too far out. Pretty much any candidate can score an interview somewhere at this point.

If you have something to add speak up! Feel free to fire up your throwaway accounts. I know not everyone wants to be tied to something like this. Or send me a chat/message. I won't share your username. Knowing who is actually calling for interviews, and what airlines are actually following up on their hiring process, helps us all. It helps us all see how the industry is actually moving. And not just from hopeful, sappy airline social media posts!

Also for now lets keep it to 121 regionals. This is a thread meant for the pilots that either got furloughed, had to leave their classes, got a CJO but never got to get to the class, or are looking completely fresh now. Really for those of us at the bottom and starting out or just a few years in.

***personal note! This will be the second to last week.

As an American, our State lines mean a lot since we have a Federal system where States have a lot of autonomy. In the U.K., there is no Federalism as the U.K. is a unitary state. But there are still nine official regional divisions from my reading:

1. East of England
2. East Midlands
3. London
4. North East
5. North West
6. South East
7. South West
8. West Midlands
9. Yorkshire and the Humber

So I'm curious whether these nine regions are seen as, more or less, statistical regions without a strong cultural following, or whether someone from England would identify with them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_England

Like, do people from Brighton and Oxford really identify strongly with each other because they're both from the "South East"? Do people from Cornwall and the Cotswolds identify with each other because both are labeled as "South West" on the map?

When I search for heavy metal in Spanish, I've only stumbled across one song, and it only had a few words in Spanish and the rest in English. I'm also familiar with Rammstein, a German industrial metal band, but they don't seem to have songs where there's metal screams that I'm aware of.

I also asked a friend from Venezuela if he knew of any heavy metal songs in Spanish, and he didn't know much examples (he mentioned rap artists though).

And if anyone knows any non-English heavy metal songs, feel free to share with me.

edit: searching for metalcore mainly, and/or similar to We Came As Romans type

Half the words I’ve read in the DARE I’ve never even heard of. Since a lot of its sources are VERY old, (1800s), is it fair to say the DARE is outdated?

You know, because they're from the American continent?

Good Morning Tankers!

In regards to the non-duplicate decoration error listed on our article explaining the Large Boxes mechanics, we're going to be crediting 1,500 shards and 1 Anti-Duplicator charge per Large Box purchased from the sale start to two hours after the article was corrected as compensation.

This issue only affected our NA article and was due to a miscommunication on our part causing the wrong infographic to be used.

We apologize for this mistake and for the radio silence while we were trying to understand the full scope of the error.

Currently, we're gathering all the affected purchases now and will have the compensation sent out as soon as possible.

Edit: NA article was corrected at Noon (12PM) Central time on Dec 9th. Compensation is for up to 2 hours after this time.

Edit: The compensation article is live. No updates on if compensation was credited at this time. https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/announcements/holiday-ops-2022-compensation/

Edit: Our weekend missions to raise festive levels article is live! https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/general-news/holiday-ops-2022-weekend-missions/

Edit: This post will be edited when compensation is credited.

WEEKEND EDIT: At this time (Saturday Dec 12th 2:10PM CT), compensation has not gone out. I will have further updates Monday during working hours. Your patience is appreciated.

Monday update: (Dec 13th 10:44 AM CT) We haven't yet credited out the compensation, but we have made some progress on gathering information on accounts within the compensation period given above.

Tuesday Update: (Dec 14 2:09PM CT) Compensation is taking much longer than anticipated. There's a technical issue that is delaying the crediting process. The approved compensation will still go out ASAP once the technical issue is resolved. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue so a re-pull of the data can be done to identify all affected players who qualify for compensation.

Wednesday Update (Dec 15 6:25PM CT): No updates.

Thursday Update: (Dec 16 10:49AM CT): Tankers! Thanks for your patience as we worked through some technical issues. The compensation is currently being delivered to accounts, and all affected players who qualify for compensation should receive their shards and anti-duplicators by the end of the day today.

**Friday Update: (Dec 17 1:43PM CT) We've seen the issue with shards not being credited with the anti-duplicators. We've been working to check the error in the

Canadians…. I understand that there is at least some positive movement up there. I know it’s not the recovery we’re experiencing here, but it’s moving at least.

Summary of last couple weeks

Last week to now isn’t that much change. If you have ATP mins and apply everywhere you should be able to get something. It might be end of summer, but that’s okay. We aren't at the "fog a mirror and come on board" point just yet, but thats coming. What’ll suck for a lot of us that onboard summer 2021 is we missed the 2018-2020 bonuses and will miss the bonuses probably coming in 2022.

Who is getting jobs/interviews now.

Endeavor seems to be upping their game this week. I have reports of a few folks getting first round interviews scheduled.

PSA is still actively doing first and second round interviews. They are being good about sending out "thanks but no thanks" emails. Seems to take multiple weeks between the first and second interview too. Be patient. If you got the first, but haven't heard anything back, you're not out yet.

Skywest is actively getting their 2020 CJOs placed in classes. They are also trying to get them in sooner now. Seems there is a push to get pilots trained now!

News/rumor mill.

Horizon is supposedly getting ready to start hiring in July. Got this rumor from a fellow Redditor. If any of you can substantiate that would be much appreciated.

Piedmont isn't really hiring now. More like just building a candidate pool. Someone internal told me they are prepping for summer hire though.

Canadians? You all up there? Anything to report?

Summary of last week

Last week to this week seems to be push from some of the more top tier regionals. Seems with the dropping of the mask mandates, airlines across the board are prepping for serious summer travel.

Lets see if this is popular enough to make it a weekly thing on Friday for the next couple months while
the regionals are ramping back up. This is only for intel and encouragement purposes.

Lets hear what airlines have called you back. Who has you scheduled for interviews? Did anyone one of us get hired this week? When is your class date? If you post, please put at least a short description of what stage you're at. I want to try to summarize the data for the next week (if enough folks are onboard).

Examples:

"Got a call from Endeavor today. Interview set for next week. I was laid off from Expressjet as an FO."

"Hired at Skywest for June 1. I was one of their cadets that had a class date last August. 1800 hours CFI."

Any news for our northern pilots? Is Canada seeing any relief at all?

Summary of last week

Last week to this week there hasn't been much movement reported. I know of folks that are jumping into their ATP because of this. Seems 2020 CJOs have some luck (unless AW), and top tier candidates. If your resume is a mess, or you have some discrepancies, you might need to keep holding on.

Back again for week two on an informal regional airlines job report. Again, this is only for intel and encouragement purposes.

Overview from last week:

We had a former Expressjet pilot get an interview for the United Aviate program.

We had 5+ high time CFIs with no ATP that heard absolutely nothing, except for the AW "thanks for applying but we are taking ATPs first." (I am in this group)

We had a high time CFI that had a CJO with Endeavor get their class date back.

Someone is actually going to start flying with Horizon on their first 121 job.

A former ExpressJet pilot got an interview with GoJet

A high time CFI has a zoom interview with PSA

A high time CFI that paid for their own ATP got a job with Air Whisky

Had an 800 hour CFI get a call from CapeAir (sort of relevant)

As for the rumor mill.

Supposedly Envoy has told a bunch of their cadets to apply to PSA

Skywest is supposedly going to start to bring back their trainees in May/June. As a note to Skywest, I hear something different every few days. I have no idea whats up with them at all.

Canadians. Canadians that want to fly for their respective regionals are f****d for now.

Summary of last week

There are a lot of high time CFIs waiting for their call right now. We might have to wait a little longer. If you had a CJO with Endeavor or PSA, consider yourself lucky as they are starting to take you back. If you had a CJO with Air Whisky they only want you back if you pony up for your ATP. If you had a CJO with XJT, no one cares.

If you have your ATP, or at least the written done, the jobs are starting to flow again, albeit slowly. Interviews are happening.

Overall we are starting to see some really good signs. I personally am still in the camp to not pay for your ATP, they will need to start to pay for it again soon. We all just need to be patient.

As of now I’m seeing actively hiring:

Skywest (just announced)

Republic (Just announced)

PSA

Endeavor

Air Wisconsin (ATP holders are going first)

GoJet

Mesa (ATP holders supposedly going first)

CommutAir

Piedmont (officially they are hiring, but I know of no one that has actually interviewed with them)

Who is getting jobs/interviews now.

Firstly a couple of us got an email from Endeavor saying they will schedule a phone interview with us in the next few weeks. I know that this is the case for at least 6 applicants. EDIT. It looks like pretty much everyone that applied to Endeavor got this call

We have 2 ATP-CTPers going to Air Whiskey that I know of.

I know of 2 Skywest 2020 CJOs that are finally officially going back

I know of one Endeavor 2020 CJO that has a May class date now.

PSA is still calling folks for first round interviews. (I know of another few who additional folks that have gotten it). They are also giving out "Thanks but no thanks" emails. So if you did the first round with them, but didn't get the "Thanks but no thanks" email, you're still in the running.

We still have a ton of high time CFIs with no ATP that heard absolutely nothing. (Every week I run into more CFI's preparing to pay for their ATP-CTP)

News/rumor mill.

Envoy blasted via their social media that they are planning to hire by years end. I mean its good news, but not pertinent to this very moment.

Horizon isn't hiring now, but its been made clear through more than one source, that they will open and close their hiring window as needed. They were the first to start hiring late last year. If Horizon is your goal, you'll get a chance, but you'll have to wait.

Canadians. Canadians are still boned. I feel for you all. If there is anything you Canucks want added, message me, or comment, and I will add it.

Summary of last week

Last week to this week we are seeing huge news from two of the largest regionals in the US. Skywest and Republic should really flush out the need for ATP-CTP. Still though it seems like many are being reserved about who they hire. Many R-ATP qualified pilots have yet to get any call at all. Having your ATP-CTP seems to be important

Who is getting jobs/interviews now.

I'm still getting reports on a TON of pilots that got the email from Endeavor saying they will call you soon to schedule an interview. Seems they blasted that to a ton of their applicants. Its unknown if they are really just building a huge pool, or they are ready to bring on a couple hundred pilots...

PSA is actively doing first and second round interviews. They are being good about sending out "thanks but no thanks" emails. Seems to take multiple weeks between the first and second interview too. Be patient. If you got the first, but haven't heard anything back, you're not out yet.

Edit. 2 high time CFIs with no ATP-CTP got offers with PSA this week now!

Skywest is bringing back their 2020 CJOs in full force. No completely new outside interviews yet, but they are well on into their hiring train! 2020 CJOs are now actually getting 2021 class dates.

I know of at least one non ATP-CTP pilot doing a GoJet interview.

We still have a ton of high time CFIs with no ATP that heard absolutely nothing.

News/rumor mill.

Piedmont isn't really hiring now. More like just building a candidate pool. Someone internal told me they are prepping for summer hire though.

Envoy. I got this from someone who would prefer to remain anonymous, " Last feb I did the cadet interview for Envoy, and they never finished my background check so was never fully onboarded. Just got a call to re-interview to get back into the cadet pipeline and the recruiter gave me the following info: bringing back all furloughs in the next 3-4 months They have 100-150 cadets at hiring mins they will bring on next in the following 3-4 months, then peo

Back again for week five now on an informal regional airlines job report. Again, this is only for intel and encouragement purposes.

Notice*:* Starting next week I am going to combine this post with my Sunday post. I'll be looking to publish every Friday. In essence it will review how the hiring is going AND what regionals are hiring in one post. The information really is overlapping anyways. It will be easier for me to do, and I think better for the members of r/flying reading these weekly.

Overview from last week:

Skywest is of course the biggest news of the week. They have announced they are opening general hiring and not requiring ATP-CTP. Absolutely fantastic news. From what I've read/heard they are planning a big push into hiring over the summer. https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/mrq3wf/skywest_is_officially_hiring/

Republic is hiring now. Just announced today. Absolutely fantastic news! (just edited this) has sent emails to all of their 2020 CJOs asking them if they are "interested" in working for Republic still. Internally they are supposed to be prepping for a push similar to Skywest. Supposedly they are giving class dates to some select few that are coming from their flight school program.

Envoy. Envoy has literally no news. Anyone care to comment about the state of affairs there?

PSA has called more pilots for first round interview. PSA seems to be the most serious right now. They are doing recorded HR first round. Haven't heard too many people get the second round yet.

Air Wisconsin sent out an email to their 2020 CJOs stating that they would re-evaluate giving the ATP-CTP course in the next 2-3 months. My bet is they will have to offer it sooner than that. If Skywest is serious, and Republic join on the boat soon, regionals like Air Wisconsin will need to take who will come to them.

We still have a ton of high time CFIs with no ATP that heard absolutely nothing, except for the AW "thanks for applying but we are taking ATPs first," OR the PSA "can we get some more info from you?" (take note that the email from PSA doesn't necessarily mean much. Lots of people are getting it)

We have a couple of pilots with ATPs going of to PSA.

We are still having pilots regularly get the first round interview from PSA.

We had a CFI get the "Thanks but no thanks" from PSA

Supposedly Piedmont is sending a couple guys to ATP-CTP

We have a

Back again for week three on an informal regional airlines job report. Again, this is only for intel and encouragement purposes.

Overview from last week:

Republic is sending emails to a lot of their 2020 CJOs asking them if they are "interested" in working for Republic still.

We had a pilot that started his ATP/CTP with PSA on Monday.

We still have a ton of high time CFIs with no ATP that heard absolutely nothing, except for the AW "thanks for applying but we are taking ATPs first," OR the PSA "can we get some more info from you?" (take note that the email from PSA doesn't necessarily mean much. Lots of people are getting it)

We had another former XJTer get their CJO with GoJet.

A buddy of mine in a similar boat to me (high time CFI, no ATP-CTP) has an interview with PSA.

As for the rumor mill.

I have multiple sources within Republic that are confirming all furloughs are coming back, then CJOs, then new hires after that. If Republic was/is your goal, you won't be waiting too long. This is very good news for a lot of us.

I still have nothing new on Envoy, except that they have told a bunch of their cadets to apply to PSA

Skywest is supposedly starting to bring their CJOs back, but not in total full force yet. Supposedly they are getting their training staff together for an upcoming hiring wave. Different sources are saying different things though, so if anyone can confirm what's happening here, that would be fantastic.

Piedmont supposedly has 2 new hire classes already underway. Anyone care to comment more/confirm anything for Piedmont? (thanks to u/SirRexberger)

Canadians are still boned. My heart is with you Canucks. Hopefully things turn around there soon. I don't quite understand what's happening there, but if any of you have something you can write for me I will ad it here. (supposedly on Sunwings: Full recovery by this winter: anticipating 40 aircraft flying, potential for 45-50. -running classes of 50 a month to bring back all furloughed pilots by winter, and potentially hiring new pilots to meet new duty regulations.)

Summary of last week

Overall there is a lot of news of current hiring, and even more news of hiring ramping up soon. Again, our time is coming, and its coming soon. Don't pay for your ATP-CTP if you don't have it yet. Your time is coming. It looks like everyone is planning a booming 2022/holidays 2021. And they need to start hiring now for that.

I want to mention United:
