fbh
P.S. I'm going back to the cargo forum where everything is happy.
@#)%(*@# $ I'm posting. But don't leave. I can guarantee you that on this thread, probably tonight, someone will make a well thought out post that will resolve once and for all who is better: regional pilot or mainline pilot? military or civilian?
It's coming. I can feel it.

This thread is no different than the others full of half truth and innuendo that some pilots love to use as a crutch to prop up their own lack of confidence and self esteem. Some regional guys use it to grind their particular brand of axe. But the commentary changes nothing.
The only good that comes from this unknowing postulation is that hopefully it makes us all more vigilant of threats both real and imagined. Maybe a better way for all of us to approach this thread is "I learned about flying from that," but few of us are willing to confess our own sins.
To set the example - I'll start:
(1) Rules about green on green pairings are there for a reason.
(2) Don't get talked into a bad idea by a Chief Pilot (it isn't his Certificate on the line)
(3) Make time. Never let yourself get rushed (if possible).
(4) The parking brake is the best safety device on the airplane.
Come on Bar, you're going to ruin it by being logical and wise! Put a battery in a snowball and chuck it, whichever way you feel as if the good Lord is leading you to throw it.
Sadly, I think most guys on every side of this worthwhile debate feel likes throwing something not only at the other side but their own side.
