Looking over your post history, I'd say that "smartest guy in the room" label fits you much better.

Seriously? Timbo is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum. And every so often he even posts something that passes as humor. :D

We all benefit when 30+ year career Pilots weigh in with their knowledge and experience.

No one says you have to agree with Timbo - if you disagree feel free to engage and point out where he is wrong.

You will achieve much more credibility on these forums with the above approach then with snarky comments.

NASA please explain how you are a 29 year old MIT grad that sucks at sentence construction, got hired at the regionals in the 90's (when you were 15), and somehow forgot to include your A380 and E190 time in your post on the UAL hired thread? You must have felt that those were not important to share with the others on that thread I'm sure.. You have no credibility here.

Actually I think the post was directed at Timbo in a friendly manner (but without a comma) telling Timbo "don't bother with the OTHER guy."
