Let's hope that doesn't happen. Frankly, as a professional pilot, I find a lot of the attitudes and opinions expressed here embarrassing. There are some basic lessons I teach my kids that some here appear to have never learned.

Learn to express your opinion without using foul language. There is a time and place for that...but learn other ways of expressing yourself.

The 'rules are the rules' and it's your fault if you get caught breaking the rules. Arguing that the rules are 'dumb' is NOT a defense. If you don't like the rules - then work to get them changed.

Figure out where you are on the totem pole before you open your mouth. What you say should reflect your 'power position'. If you can't say what you want and/or don't like your position - then work to change it. Don't complain about, or be surprised by, the consequences if you insist on speaking your mind regardless of your power position.

LIFE ISN'T FAIR. Nobody is going to carve out a special set of rules for you based on your superior intellect, skill, and good intentions. The rules are built to protect everyone from the 'lowest common denominator', so don't be surprised if you're judged by the same standards as the lowest common denominator. You may get a break from time to time, but don't expect one.

The rules aren't applied to people who don't get caught breaking them. If you break a rule and get caught, it doesn't matter that someone else did it 30 seconds before you...they didn't get caught, and you did. I can't even scratch the surface of the practical applications of this one .

BTW, my kids learned these things in Middle School.
