Ameriflight??

[HARRY POTTER]

You know you could just add him to your whatever list he keeps mentioning.

Which makes me wonder what Mr. Potter is contributing to this forum and how much longer he should be allowed.

You strike me as one of those captains who get their panties in a bunch whenever a first officer or controller tries to tell you you're don't something wrong or unsafe. You point to the bars on your shoulder and cry on the inside because daw-gernit you have a type rating and they don't, how on earth could they know something you don't know. They're being ungrateful that they get a chance to fly with such a talented and all knowing aviator.

I know just as much about you as you know about me. Either we're both right, or we're both wrong.

ZOMG can you imagine this guy in Bob's class?

"Bob, there's no way what you're saying is true, you see I'm a keyboard ninja on the internet..."

*Bob in one swift move jumps across the classroom while proceeding to decapitate the poor indoc trainee. Bob then continues to scream at people about 90/270 procedure turns in the Lance, which Amflight doesn't even operate anymore, all while ignoring the corpse that is squirting blood on him*

Rather than start a new thread, I'll just ask here:

I have a lapsed medical (1993-1994). I am not current (1993 last flight). I have almost 190 hrs, complex endorsement and have flown airplanes up to an including Mooneys, Trinidads, Commanders (112) and a couple hours of 210 time. I have taildragger time in Cubs, Champs, C-140's.

I haven't flown in a long time, and am unsure if I can get a medical. Should I call Sherri? Do you think my lack of currency and a medical holds me back, or makes me unattractive as a candidate compared to the thousands of other pilots that have tons more experience than me?

Please don't respond if you have either a)been an employee in the past, b)been a training captain in the past, c)currently fly for them, d)currently serve as a training captain for them, e)try and tell me something I don't want to hear, f)try to reinforce my fantasies about internet anonymity.

I see the point you're making here and it is completely retarded. You know perfectly well that my situation is nowhere even remotely close to what you're saying in this post. Since you don't care about my internet friendship and I certainly don't care about yous, I'm not going to hesitate to tell you you're a moron. You're only making this half-baked post to try to gain solidarity with mickcweb and the others. Pathetic.

I don't have to wonder. I know why people are piling on me. If theres a disagreement, and theres one person on one side, who has zero "cred", and theres 15 people on the other side, with mountains of "jc cred", what do you think would happen? No one posting in this thread are going after me because what I'm saying is wrong. They're going after me because I dare go against someone which those people want to be "in" with. Since I could care less about how many e-friends I get here, I don't mind it.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I read something interesting this morning. The article verified something I had long suspected, but didn't know research had been done on the topic. The Dunning-Kruger effect is basically, the less you know, the more overconfident you are in that area.

I'm not trying to say you're overconfident in your piloting skills. You may be fine on instruments, and able to pass an ATP checkride after not flying for 9 months. But then again, most pilots aren't at their best after not flying instruments that long. It took me 4 or 5 landings to get them where I thought they were passable (not good, passable) after 3 months out of the airplane.

Take it or leave it. I'm not trying to be your friend or anything like that. I am not even saying I agree 100% with the others on this forum. But like you have seen patterns in people's behavior that make you discount certain things, I have seen people with attitudes like yours (the anti-authority and the macho and a little of the invulnerability attitudes mentioned in PHAK), and they usually get put in their place sooner or later.

Then again, they usually have someone else to blame.

You may not care if people here like you. But in everything in life, you should care if people respect you.

I know just as much about you as you know about me. Either we're both right, or we're both wrong.

I've worn bars on my shoulder only once in my career and I was single pilot at the time.
Currently I fly with other captains 97% of the time but when I did have FOs I tried to mentor them.

You strike me as a know it all that has just gotten by to get the 1447 hours you have. You strike me like you think that is enough time to know everything about anything meanwhile you know very little about almost everything.

Perhaps you should listen more than you talk. Read more than you type and you'd learn a gd thing or two. YOU are a disease to not only this website but this industry. Folks like YOU have no place here or in the cockpit. Folks like YOU are the reason this industry is filled with know it alls and back stabbers. You're not going to find anyone here that enables folks like you to destroy this industry. Move along champ, YOU don't belong here!

That wiki link applies more to the other people replying to this thread than me. I'm the one telling them they're out of line by claiming they know more about my flying skills that I do.

Anyways, it's not a completely outlandish claim to say you're flying skills don't lapse to the point of being non-existent after 9 months.

If I said the exact same thing to you (which take this reply as just that), how would you take it? Oh I forgot, this is an ameriflight thread, and you're an ameriflight pilot, and I'm not an ameriflight pilot, so you can say those thing, and I can't.

Besides this making zero sense, I'm not an Ameriflight pilot.

Well, I think you've got your answer. And burned a bunch of bridges in the process as well, which is a travesty, because no one can help you.

The internet is NOT as anonymous as you think, so do not rely on a pseudonym as a meaningful wall of protection. I can't stress that enough.

It's still VERY early in your career, I'd suggest working on your world view.

Yes...because anyone that knows me knows that my goal in life is to kiss ass and gain solidarity with MikeCweb and Jtrain in particular.

I feel this is a personal win for me to be called "retarded" and a "moron" in a single post by you! I pray god nobody gives you an infraction for that because I like having you around - comic relief.

You are correct though - my post was non-sensical, in hopes that you would somehow wake up and see the stupidity that you were exhibiting. Sometimes, the same concept taken to an illogical extreme can reinforce something. I would submit that based on what you have written that you are closer to my autobiographical post than with where you actually need to be to get a job at Ameriflight.

Lastly, I think the first thing you need to do is to gain currency with this book - it will help you a lot:
