Are you saying most pilots don't read books and are too stupid or scatter-brained to comprehend simple paragraphs ?

I figure any pilot who falls into that category is probably beyond hope anyway. The more astute and savvy pilots take a minute to read something worthwhile, while some may not. That's one of the beauties of life and this forum; choices.

Yes, just blindly take this guy's advice......after all, he knows what's best for you.

Many of today's millennials seem to be plagued with ADD and ADHD.

His handle implies he may be a dog from New Jersey and it's damn tough to be a dog in New Jersey. Times are lean and most of them are quite scrappy.

Arf !

I believe that to be true. Some possibly had not even been afflicted with those disorders, but were erroneously medicated as children anyway. In fact, while sitting in my doctor's office recently (annual check-up), I read a report on the over use of psycho-stimulants like Ritalin on children in the 1990's to the tune of something like 800%. I can't help but feel that many of todays pilots fell into that category and some have been psychologically altered as a result.

For someone so savvy in disorders you should really go get help for your own mental disorder first before posting any more.



Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration and attention, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody’s life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today.

If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.

Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others.


Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

-Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

-Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

-Has a very strong sense of unreasonable expectations,
of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

-Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

-Requires excessive admiration

-Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

I was thinking the same thing. What makes it funny is everyone else recognizes the narcissism but him.

Clearly, your condition is one of paranoia mixed with delusion.

Self-importance ?

The discussion of Envoy's situation has NOTHING to do with ME and EVERYTHING to do with Envoy and the misinformation of a core group of characters some of whom I'm sure are associated with CLR.

I'M special ?

Where have I directed my comments at myself as the prime point of a post ? Additionally, where have my comments also been directed at, associated with or involve others who I believe are as "special as me" ?

Answer : Nowhere. I have rarely if ever discussed MYSELF in this or other threads and is rarely, if ever the point. Your obsession with me has confused you.

Unreasonable Expectations ?

That would be those like you not only expecting a guaranteed benefit without the foundation to support it, but attempt to sell YOUR unreasonable expectations to others. Actually, I consider THAT quite narcissistic.

"Arrogant" behavior ?

Yes, on that one I can see why you would think that. Considering the success of your sales pitches or in reality, the lack thereof, I realize how easily you could convert YOUR frustration into MY arrogance.

Admiration ?

Again, the subject is rarely about me and only turns that way when characters like YOU turn it that way. The subject from my POV is Envoy, the industry and accurate information to assist others in making INFORMED choices, not eaglefly.

Lacks empathy ?

Look at some recent posts here or on the other thread. You'll note some empathy even to those that don't give the impression they are worthy of it. Of course, it's hard to give empathy to those intent on weaving horse**** into Egyptian cotton.

What you have formulated in this assertion of my narcissism is essentially a strawman argument, but I realize a satisfying one.

Hey, if you want an example of someone with a TRUE NPD among other personality disorders, look no further than RJ pilot. Considering his penchant for being a pathological liar (Envoy EMB captain straight to GV captain), it mixes well with a narcissistic personality (advertising his $250,000 phantom salary) also with delusion (his conviction he knows my identity, which has always been wrong).

You should PM each other and build a friendship if it doesn't already exist. You have a lot in common.

eaglefly

How would you know ? The person you keep outing me as, ISN'T the person I am. If you want to lead some of these gullible puppies around with this treat, that's fine, but just so WE both know you're full of it, that's all that matters to me.

eaglefly

It sadly appears that for many of you characters, if you say something on this forum (or other forums ), it must be true at least in your own minds and hey, knock yourself out. Attacking me still wont change the fact that unless AAG commits to Envoy and Envoy hires A LOT of pilots to cover attrition, it's all fantasy. Of course, when one cannot dispute the MESSAGE, one frequently has nowhere else to go but attack the messenger.

Is it JUST accidental that when I comment to another with a general statement of the younger generations documented overexposure to psychological meds in past decades aimed at no individual(s), that the only ones who appear to take it personally and counter-attack me on a personal level are the usual suspects here ?

I don't think it's an accident. I think it's VERY revealing.
