...my BIGGEST pet peeve regarding ALL pilots and cabin crew

[Cat Driver]

It is an interesting comment isn't it?

Makes me wonder where I fit on the dumb scale.

How is it not a privilege (dropped the D just for you ) to the general public to hop in a pressurized tube and haul off across countless timezones and kill days of normal travel time ? Vancouver to calgary would take you around 12hrs on a good weather day by car and most likely over 100 bones in fuel and pit stops. By air? 1hr 18 mins. Thats a privilege! YYZ-YVR? 5hrs in the air.. a MINIMUM 3 days by road (if you never stopped and broke speed limits) and don't forget the costs of meals and hotel rooms now needed too!! Very much a privilege.

Not everyone can afford to fly and not everyone should be able to either. Especially at the cost of those that provide the service.

And those of us that fly for a living have earned that privilege by spending our time and money on attaining the licences and minimums and flight times required. If we as humans had the RIGHT to fly.. the powers that be would have given us wings from birth..

Nobody is entitled to ANYTHING. You want something? you feel the right to something? Work for it. Attain it. Pay for it. Thats life my friend and there aint no way to change it.

Birrdoggy.. The last year has changed my perspective so immensely I don't even know where to start! I'll give you a shout here shortly

So if somebody is "bitching" about stupid sh*t. I guess that would make them...?

I think he already said something about #1.

When I show up on a cold damp ramp @ 4 am in the middle of the mofo winter to haul rubber dog shyte up and down the Lake Superior coast....I'M PHAQUING WORKING!!!!
So, unless I'm going on a month long backpack vacation trip overseas....THEN THAT'S WHEN I'LL BE FLYING!

Hey IAB, I hope you're kidding. Otherwise, you are one crusty, old, jaded bastard. Why don't you move to Montreal. Maybe some hot, slutty French broads will cheer you up.

Comedic timing is everything, without visuals...I guess it missed it's mark with some...but fun for me none the less. Thanks for reading.

Crusty....yeah. Jaded...nah! French "Broads"?! That to me is the funniest word ever invented.

Word of advice, "Chicks" don't like it when you call them "Broads"


(It's a joke ladies....don't PM a moderator to complain...I hold you ALL in the highest respect...because, I am affraid of you ALL as the stronger sex"

Much Love!

This thread has the Haza seal of approval.

I've seen too many dangerous mistakes made on the ground because pilots or student pilots had there heads in the freaking clouds and no clue what was going on around them at all times. Sometimes a little reality slap helps us all.

As my youngest daughter used to say when asked:
"My dad is a Peanut"

Still better than "My dad pee a lot"

[complexintentions]

If someone asks what I do for a living I tell them I am a pilot. And then we, um, talk about other stuff.

I had no idea it was all so complicated.

I have decided this is not a forum, but a place where folks with personality disorders can meet and compare notes. Faked self-loathing, woo hoo what a party!

This coming from a person that chose the user name "complexintentions"?!?!

You know...admitting it is the first step to recovery.
