I swear it's Christmas, not April Fools.... Maybe I missed the memo? You guys make me laugh. The 500hr Wunderkind Instructor is just as capable of setting the table for a career as the guy/girl who has done it all... Riiiight. :smt021 When will you people understand that flight training is about so ...

Pretty lousy BP, pretty lousy. Please, enlighten me to how anyone who starts out flight training "deserves" a lousy instructor short on any real experience outside the circuit? If that is the logic of an argument just because you happen to be an instructor and someone took issue with that sector of ...

Instructors - especially really good ones - are considered lower than dirt by other pilots, whom presumably were born with an ATPL in one hand and a fat logbook in the other :roll: It's easy to tell that those pilots never had any decent instruction. Spitting on instructors is a curiously Canadian ...

BPF.

This is life, and to my knowledge not one person has got out of it alive. Death is just that, and at 300Lbs it seems the good Capt was past due, not "before his time."

And yes, the web does bring out the worst of the worst.

Great article. Yeah. So we can send fully automated ships into space, dock with other ships also fully automated, then we can bring them back to Earth, but I'm supposed to believe that at no time in the future will we be able to safely get my airliner to its destination? It's coming, inevitable. The...

Yeah, I'd like to go through another divorce, seem to be getting the hang of it now.

Nothing says pet peeve to me like the kids coming up who can't read a map, but want respect at 500hrs. Want to use thier "right" under SOP's to and SMS to file reports on senior captains who actually have a clue.

I fail to see Not my problem or my job to convince you. What do I care or what difference does it make. INTERNET speak for "I've got nuth'n." :goodman: Rockie makes a very good point though, how can we possibly accept this at face value when its been a moving target the whole time and is already WA...

This board lost a lot when the equivalent of PPRuNe Jet Blast was shut down. (I forget what the forum was called, Propwash or something.) When there is nowhere else to vent, subjects that have little or nothing to do with the subject at hand will pop up in any thread. Good luck with the new rules. ...

You guys crack me up. This place never changes.

Some nice flying there gentlemen, well done.

Swine, you really don't get out much do you?

Haha, too funny. You guys are all the same. 'give us our toys so we can fight (somebody) for YOUR freedom, but just don't disagree with me." :lol: Having gone through this thread a bit, I see your post is in line with the rest of your case, which is nicely summarized by your wish to separate the mon...

Frosti. With all due respect, your days as an F35 apologist are numbered with arguments like that. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, all this posturing and faulty logic. Comparing what was (known), to what will be (unknown), is a bit on the ridiculous side given all we know about any Gov't progr...

I find it hard to believe some of you are still parroting on that this is a good idea. Canada's budget watchdog says it appears the Conservative government kept two sets of books when it came to the costs of replacing Canada's aging fleet of CF-18s with 65 F-35 stealth fighter jets. In an interview ...

Uh huh. Playing the old CBC card again I see. The CBC sux equally for all, get over it. Pretty sure Mr Williams knows a bit about what's going on, regardless of where it's published. Was watching TV not long ago and there was a ridiculous ad about some fellow marrying bacon, reminded me a bit of you...

No. THe company you're inquiring about went to shit a long time before you probably ever thought about flying. If you're smart, you'll see Cpt X is trying to give you some advice there. Forum working nicely.

Frosty, I think you're on to something there fella. Virgin Space to orbit, Baumgartner your way home. Wonder what that would be worth?!?!?

Everyone seems intent on debating the merits of something we just don't need imho, whether you like the damn thing or not. Is The F-35 Strike Fighter The Military Chevy Volt? Defense: Pilots who arrived a year ago to train on the fighter of the future are still waiting as safety concerns, cost overr...

Until the industry starts charging reasonable rates for the use of airplanes, acceptable and even progressive wages or benefits across the profession are a pipe dream. As has been said many times here, it's a race to the bottom atm. The bulk model where the number of fleet hours flown is supposed to...

I can't wait to see what the media will do when Japan confirms it will buy many F-35 (and therefore reducing the production costs) :lol: Yes, I'm sure they'll be all over that when they finish paying for the earthquake, the meltdown, and the recovery of their slumped economy. Frosti, do you work fo...

Happy Thanksgiving to the US, and WHO do what WHAT? Oh right, fairy tales again. Jeebus Saves! He plays goal for the Leafs now I hear. jesus-saves-2.jpg Mmm, wonderful neighbour indeed.
