Leo Morton: Ed, can you take that Delta?
Ed Clabes: No, I can't take the Delta, my airspace is finite.
Barry Plotkin: Uh-oh, Ed's going down the drain.
Ed Clabes: I am not going down the drain.
Barry Plotkin: Oh yes you are. It happens every time you use the term "finite."

Can’t help but think of this scene whenever JB uses the term “brightspark”. ::shrug::

I know. Military guys tend to know mostly military guys.

I've worked in most areas of the industry, far from just 135, but most of the 121 guys I work with have 135 experience. Many of the fire guys I've worked with have 135 experience. Many of the corporate guys I've worked with have 135 experience.

With the exception of the kids who run from instructing to a regional job, and military aviators (the two groups with the narrowest background), most out there have 135 experience. For a very long time it's been where people went after instructing.

To suggest one needs 121 experience to get hired into 121 flying is ridiculous. It's absolutely untrue. in the Cargo world, there are a lot of pilots who get hired who have no prior 121 experience, and let's not forget that military aviators separating to their first airline typically have no civil experience at all.

So what? Are you saying military pilots aren’t good pilots?

Adlerdriver

Ahhh jeeez Now you're gonna get called bright spark.
That's not what he was saying, but I'll let JB clue you in just because it'll be fun to watch.

I said nothing of the kind.

Perhaps it's the plain english that tripped you up, or perhaps you're too busy making assumptions. READ.

TiredSoul

Well...for starters there’s nothing brief about a military aviator briefing.

Locke

Haha nicely done. I was bored and threw out thinly veiled bait to see what would happen. Only 1 person decided to jump on board.
