Don't take it personal. One time repairing the nose wheel on a plane GROUNDED by an incompetant line guy will change your attitude. Yes, of course you pay too.

Getting back to the original post:

While I am a "weekend warrior" (actually many weekdays too), and I am sure this happens from time to time, after over 36 years of flying, I have yet to hear such an exchange. Granted, I've heard some silly stuff, that's for sure, just not that!

Hey look, I knew a guy who flew IFR for years without an instrument rating and never had a bust. Last time I flew with him it was VFR, but he was in his new Columbia 400! Maybe he got the rating by now!

Also, reminds me of an old story (heard it is true, probably is, but not certain) about an airline flight asked by ATC to expedite descent. Apparently ATC was not happy with their descent rate and admonished the pilot. The pilot comes back and says: "We're coming down faster than a Bonanza full of doctors, what more do you want?!!"

Question: What are perhaps the five most infamous words ever said to ATC by an airline pilot (it was the FO who said them)?

Answer: "And we are at takeoff".

Any guesses as to who said that and the eventual result?

Not all recreation oriented pilots are weekend warriors, I know some Private Pilots with a broader range of experience (and competence) than many regional pilots. Weekend warriors are a branch of the pilot tree....

Agree completely. Weekend warriors are generally guys who only fly several times a month (if that), and don't really take the time to keep themselves as current or proficient as they should.

At least, that's my definition.

My definition is the guy who mostly flys for their 90 days and that is it....Plenty of those at my airport.
