Is that the ATC-equivalent of a Pilot Penis Measuring Contest? :)

"Son, talk to me when you have worked BIGNUTS Sector, until you've worked BIGNUTS you're not a real controller... 700 airplanes an hour all on vectors at 900 knots closure..."

"Isn't that a Top Gun quote???"

"SHUTUP NEWBIE"
 
Doug, I know I haven't been on here as much as I used to be, a wife, two kids, ALPA committees, racing... This list goes on... but this is a fantastic website! I have had the great joy of helping others through this site and have met some great friends, all because of the time I have spent on here. I know I have said it before, most of us have, but here it is again. THANK YOU for all the time you spend making this happen. You rock and may very well be the coolest guy I know that I've never met. A lot of us owe you our careers.

Muchos gracias, amigo!

Like I say, I keep the lights on and untangle a few schoolyard fights, but we're a sum of our people. Without you guys, I'd probably just be looking at cat videos and drinking booze on my deck right now.

We do have the best people on the aviation internet. Bar none.

Oh god, they're just like pilots.

"On my airplane…"

"Shut up! You're only cat-II qualified and you don't even have auto throttles"

"Both of you kiss my ass as you don't have an opinion until you get a second aisle!"

Hell, I got a private jet ride to Las Vegas last week with a fully stocked bar.

Yeah, you guys are TRRRRRRBLE. :) :sarcasm:

We're basically a networking and informational website.

Yes, we ALL spend an inordinate amount of time here because, of course, we have common interests and we're all looking to get ahead or help others get ahead.

I figure it's like the "take a penny/leave a penny". If our content happens to help you out or enlighten you in some way, add to the content. It's pretty simple. Without other people adding to the "content kitty" before you, there would have been nothing for you to read.

So when I hear about people that are angry about the amount of time spent on professional online forums, we have to recognize that a lot of us are actively benefitting from these "dastardly" things and sometimes you might have to elucidate that to others from time to time.

It's a free resource and we're a sum of our whole and the only price for admission is throwing a couple posts up, offering to help just as eagerly as you were when you took it and avoid the "I got mine, pull up the rope".

Yup, I'm on a rant. It's disingenuous when people benefit from a free, robust, friendly resource on one hand, but denigrate it on the other.
