Would you put your Avcanada 'handle' on your resume?

Absolutely. I'm proud of my contribution here, and have nothing to hide.

My boss knows who I am, and I think anyone who has worked with/met me knows who I am. I sign my posts with my initials, If I've PM'd you, I use my real name, I've even revealed who I work for and what I fly here. I hope my posts don't cast me in poor light. I asked my boss here and he doesn't think so...

I make posts when I think I have input. Sometimes (more often than not :>:>) I can be wrong, but hey, anyone who knows me knows that I'm always wrong anyways :> Sometimes I'm whiney, which is also known to those who know me :> I don't really talk trash about my company because there is nothing even remotely trashy about it. If I post, I'm hoping that someone will learn something from it or that I will learn something from it. I can't remember trash talking anyone, but if I have, I appologize.

I would like to see AvCanada go more in the direction of a serious resource for new folks in this Industry. Over-all, the general tone of this forum is fairly vendictive/flamish. It really doesn't help anyone.

Cheers,
PP

My boss knows who I am and I don't care what he thinks. It's great to be in a union. :roll:

To be honest I never really thought about that. However, I don't think I have posted anything in here that I should be ashamed of...

I've never been to concerned about anyone knowing who I am. After thinking about it for a while the more people on here who know my name the better. I'm just at the beggining of a (hopefully) long life in aviation, when I'm at work I allways consider that the person I'm dealing with today could be a potential employer in the future. Even though someone is a pilot today, they could be a chief pilot or some other management position in the future. Who knows, maybe by posting on AvCanada I'll make a connection with someone which will lead to a future job.

By the way, my name is Gregory Lancelot Side, but you can call me Greg for short :wink:
