Probably a little of both. God this guy makes me sick to my stomach. A tool and a DB. I hope he reads this thread.

LaGuardia is a carrier deck? At 7,000 feet?
OK. Srsly. I'm not going to read one more thing from that tooksack, but did he really call LGA an aircraft carrier deck?

Now I'm jealous. Not only can he get into DCA without scraping the wing on base to final, but he can also land in LGA? Without a tailhook or afterburners?

In his defense I will assume he is just trolling. If he's really this into himself I bet he has to fly with 8 different FO's on a 5 day, all of them reserves.

At least his dog probably thinks he's as awesome as he does.

Tool Hall of Fame. TOTD, every day. Thread closed.

Just wanted to know you’ve been voted “Tool of the Day” on Airline Central Pilots Forum. Comparing LGA to a carrier deck and landing at DCA as a crash in a turn waiting to happen. Puuullease.

Tell them you ARE flying it! (yes, I'm THAT good)

Unfortunately. whenever you wear your uniform, pax will assume you're on duty AND work for that airline. When I wore my FA uniform flying on another airline I've been asked to help with their luggage, get them a drink, flight time, etc. etc. Believe it or not, I've even been asked when I'm NOT in uniform...Go figure!

Let the carpet bombing commence!! We could really enjoy reading our quotes somewhere other than APC. This guy could use a good thrashing. I'm guessing he is more than just a "yes" vote.

If I knew it would have been in the comments of his most recent "me-mail" blog post. It was marked as "awaiting moderator" when posted. I think it was probably deleted. If you have the stomach, all of the comments are "wow, you're great, keep on blogging, or "in my version of X-Plane, the 737........"
