Then imagine that a fellow pilot would come on this forum and use a picture of that event as his Avatar as a put down. All the while spreading his "I'm a victim" mentality at every turn.
How would you feel about him?
I chose that picture to represent the breakdown of United Airlines during the bankruptcy era which cost me and thousands of others our jobs. I never thought someone would take it as a personal attack, and certainly don't mean it that way.
This is exactly the reason I resist posting on this forum. You try to make what you feel is a valid point and then you have to waste your time defending yourself against someone's misrepresentation of your avatar picture...
Next I'll claim my dad was an RV salesman and I am offended by your avatar, such that it is demeaning to his profession. Are we far enough off track yet?
