You of all people could not "crush" my "hopes". You have no idea what my hopes, wants and desires are and to claim otherwise are nothing more than your sociopathic personality traits peaking through the thinly veiled curtain of internet anonymity.
You make unsupported claims then congratulate yourself on your own unsupported conclusions. You pretend to be an expert on matters that you haven't slightest clue about. In general you are a bitter person and a blowhard who has a ridiculous agenda of trying to punish anybody who hasn't failed at the same endeavors in which you have so spectacularly failed at.
I don't associate with people like you. I will happily however, refute any and all untruths, slights and misrepresentations that you so gleefully spew forth on this site.
You see Sky, what APC is really all about for you is the ability to actually "talk to and hang out with" real life airline pilots. As there aren't any who'd give your rationalizations and personality faults more than about 5 polite minutes face to face before they were outta there in the real world.
Hoss,
I understand what you are saying and would hate loosing you as a friend but if you really feel this way then perhaps you should put me on your ignore list because you tend to associate with me a lot here.
I can still be your friend though. I know that you don't like what I write about but privately you know what I am talking about. My aim here is to present the other side of aviation to those who are considering the profession. I believe that most who start on the path are fed false information and kept alive though self denial. I write with an eye to the future. In regards to automation I am sure that
you will be able to ride off into the sunset with the A/P disengaged but hows about a 20 year old who is reading these forums? They could have as much as forty years of changes ahead of them. I think the odds are very slim that they will still be touching the controls for most of their career.
I write this stuff not because I want to hurt your feelings but to help drive the truth home to the next generation. I believe that most hold the same needs and expectations as I and they need to know what they are up against. If I were to guess I would say that my writings are offensive and threatening to you because they bruise the ego and threaten your self image. I am sorry for that, but please remember that I am critical of the industry and not of those who are in it.
You tend to write much of the same stuff elsewhere on the forums.
