Fair point—what I’m doing now is exactly what you pride yourself on: calling someone out. The difference? I’m aiming to remind you that being 'right' isn't the same as being effective.

Providing evidence is great, but when it’s wrapped in condescension, it tends to lose its charm. No one’s asking for perfection, just a little less arrogance. Being right doesn't mean much when it’s delivered like a victory lap in an empty stadium.

Clearly, you’ve missed the point. This isn’t about whether you provide evidence—it’s about how you deliver it. Either you’re too stubborn to see it, or you genuinely don’t realize that debating with condescension is like pissing into the wind. Sure, you can do it, but it’s not nearly as effective as you think.

I’ll leave it here, but despite your refusal to acknowledge it, I hope there’s at least a spark of self-awareness that lets something here stick.

Flying a business jet for a private owner who rarely uses it. Great pay, minimal flying, lots of time off, and none of the airline grind.

Depends who you fly for. I used to fly a falcon for a guy who used it like clockwork once every two weeks for one half the year. Never called once outside of that. Just like the airlines there are some gems out there that break the mold

My guy, very few people if any here have an open mind, even less are willing to discuss things in good faith. If you come in expecting common sense individuals that’s a lack of self awareness.

You’re only able to guess my tone, my intentions.

I can't help jump in here. We can see your tone bud. It's in your words. your words scream 20 year old with zero life experience. Your tone is not what we expect to see in a cockpit, maybe a good thing that you aren't a pilot - which begs the question - why are you commenting on a thread about which airline would you join when you are not even an airline pilot. Let the grownups talk.

wrong on all accounts! This thread drifted to AI putting people out of work, where were you when that happened?

Try not he is not even a licensed pilot, and I’d take the under on that life experience, if not the age, being 2 different things.

Where was I? I was valiantly attempting to keep the thread on course, despite the turbulence caused by those who, rather amusingly, aren’t even airline pilots yet feel compelled to lecture others on subjects wildly off-topic.

But let’s give it another go, shall we? Newlygrounded, if by some cosmic fluke you found yourself as an airline pilot—and that’s a rather generous hypothetical—where would you apply? And, perhaps more intriguingly, which airline’s personality test would you miraculously manage to pass, provided, of course, they didn’t actually meet you first?

Out of 85 posts only 3 mentioned what airline people would work at, yet you pick on ME out of everyone?

Can you show me where on AV's rule list it says you have to be a 705 driver?

Relax, no one’s picking on you. Your comments just happened to shine the brightest in the sea of irrelevance.

And sure, there’s no rule saying you have to be a 705 driver to chime in—just like there’s no rule saying you need experience to hand out expert opinions. But here we are.

Please, continue. Your outside perspective on an industry you’re not part of is truly... something.

There's no dark magic or exclusivity to 705 flying.. lol. It is literally the least exclusive sector of Canadian aviation.

Passing a personality test is like getting a gold star in Kindergarten. The only ones who fail are independent thinkers who try and 'beat' them rather than doing exactly what's told.

Again, AI is perfect for the airline industry. You've already got a bunch of iPads telling you what to do.

I'm friends with over a dozen people in the industry, many are captains. I find that people tend to group think a lot and my "outsider" perspective is usually right when it comes to predicting certain outcomes.

Do tell these expert outsider predictions. Please.

I happen to have friends in the industry too, 20, 30,000 hour Captains also.

I also have around 1000 hours SP flying experience. Which is essentially close to zero, its so low time, I now believe.

And I have no problem saying I know absolutely nothing about the industry.

Trump should just offer green cards to all Canadian doctors, airline pilots, engineers, etc. They'll all make twice as much in the States.

Cowards move saying not to reply eh? 😂
Son, I respect your determination, but doubling down when you're clearly iwrong isn’t the kind of strength you want to be known for. The need to always be right, especially when it’s obvious you're just looking for an argument, speaks louder about you than the person you're trying to prove wrong.

Remember, you're in a pilot forum—where knowledge, professionalism, and humility matter far more than aggression or a stubborn need to win. Carry yourself in a way that earns respect, not just attention.
Since you managed to get the other thread locked, I’m just going to drop this here for all to see the giant hypocrite you are! Above :up: you in February lecturing about professionalism blah blah blah, below :downbig: you talking about Jazz pilots in a disrespectful and derogatory manner!
