Do people really fall for this?

Doug has made in known on several occasions that he doesn't like other boards' drama here.

As much as I hate to say it, I have noticed a great deal more drama and Mod involvement on JC in the last year than I see elsewhere. I have started to reply several times to different threads lately, but instead, just shake my head and walk away.

oooo...who called the cops?

Dont taze me bro...err...m'am!

PCL, in my time spent on the interwebs (which is way too much) I have found that most people who get made fun of...usually bring it on themselves.

Re: Example

One of the students, who had been in the Frasca just minutes earlier practicing holding pattern entries, said:

"Yeah, I'm considering getting out of this industry. I don't think I can waste several years instructing or whatever else I can get into after training. It's just not worth it."

He has yet to complete the instrument rating!

Yeah, that's probably not the right attitude to have for this industry. I always tried to set short term goals (pass my instrument, get 250 hrs, pass my commercial, etc.), and my long term goal was to be a CFI. After I became a CFI, my next goal was to be a CFII. Then it was to be a paid commercial pilot (as opposed to paid instructor).

I think this has really helped keep me from getting frustrated at times, and to kind of enjoy wherever I happen to be at in my career.

Seems incredibly cocky and naive for a pre-commercial pilot to feel deserving of some jet job though. Oh well, another soon to be bitter pilot I guess. As long as I don't have to listen to him whine about his low pay and crappy QOL.

Re: Example

back on topic.... the funny part I saw this morning was a familiar face in a glaring ad in this month's AOPA flight training.

I knew Ashley but didn't know she went to GA. I was in the bathroom and I thought to myself, "how appropriate."

Even fellow flyers fall through the cracks and go to GA. The best we can do is get some information out there.
