My bad. It gets a little confusing sometimes trying to pronounce "Kinston" and "Kingston" in the same trip, remembering that ORD APP freaks out over 10kt speed diffs unlike others, figuring out if Havana is 120.25, 124.55 or 123.7 each day and what a "Flat Rock" looks like compared to a "Sail Rock"
I admit, there was a little digging on the turkey post. I was wondering about someone's claim as a commercial pilot and what exactly that meant. MY background is GA and have seen many claim what they are not.
The turkey looked like a good crew meal if the flight was long enough for a oven cook
No worries. It's been several decades since I was in high school, but I still know how to use the language that I profess to know fluently.
He claimed he was a commercial pilot, no more. If he only has the certificate he is still a commercial pilot. He has still passed all of the coursework and skills required. He made no claims otherwise.
I'm not sticking up for him as much as I'm tired of people bullying without due cause.
