Yaaaaaaaaa, I was in a hurry to get out the door and didn't have time to proof read. Now that I look back I can laugh and agree with you, I think my little girl did pound out that statement. It sounds just like her. LOL!

Man, would you please shut up already? When will you realize that you need to shut your mouth? At one point you were desperate to interview at XJT, then you pretended like you were the 'know-it-all' flight instructor who knew more than the 121 guys, and now you're the 1st year FO who is the authority on everything airline-related. Keep your mouth shut; we're all tired of it.

TD is officially "that guy". Now lets move on with the discussion. The bottom line as it relates to the topic of this thread is that Skywest is not going to buy ExpressJet. That is good for ExpressJet pilots. I believe that it is also good for Skywest. There would have been some animosity between the two pilot groups after the buyout. Now we can all be friends and live happily ever after...hehe

Skywest pilots, I could not think of a better regional to be bought by and most XJT pilots probably feel that way. However, it was apparent that Skywest management had no regard for the better of our pilot group and that why most XJT pilots opposed the deal. Both airlines are better off.

Mod note:

I'd like to suggest that if you can't stand a particular user at APC, that the ignore function is a better option than mudslinging on the forums.

Why not set up a feature to ignore you? The fact you're mod keeps us from being able to ignore your often absurd and condecending comments.

Bond, There wasn't anything condescending in his statement. I think a better sense of propriety would fit you well. The guys who run this site have been around a long time and without them we wouldn't have this forum

Imagine how they feel. They created a website for pilots to share intelligent ideas with one another, but more often than not the threads are overrun by 20 somethings who can't spell or put together a proper sentence and just resort to bashing each other.

You obviously haven't seen some of the stuff he lets go and the stuff he removes/edits/censors. It's not exactly "uniform".

I believe he has a low tolerance for some of the ridiculous banter (if it can be qualified as such) that happens here. Insofar as his power allows, he may be more subjective than you like, but I would rather him in his post than 95% of the other daily visitors. Ultimately, by coming to this site we knowingly post at the mercy of his judgments. If you disagree vehemently, contact HSLD

Excatly, I have seen a lot of nasty stuff said and been ignored (even when reported) and then I have seen people (me included) hit with infractions for calling somebody nothing more than a cotton headed ninny muggins
