Thanks!

I concede many and all points that are correct, or even well-thought and reasoned arguments.

Commercial pilot, cardiologist, researcher, former engineer.

Strangely enough I have seen this quite well from the FSDO to the community FAASTeam architecture. Certain CAP units become overrun with a massive boys' club groupthink, and it often ruins them. It is yet another reason that having guys like the mature crew that I named previously involved in decision-making and not the fervent crazy few.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy I didn't get to see it.

 

Today's tool: (It is not a joke!)

Turkey takes airplane ride as passenger's 'emotional support... | www.ajc.com

 

Cardio,

The turkey story isn't even news for most major airline pilots. A good many of us have seen far worse. Probably news for the new guys or those that have little operational experience. A comfort goose, pig and my favorite, a pitbull are some of my favorite past highlights.

You state you are a Commercial Pilot? Just the rating or actual real experience in 135/121, large aircraft 91 or Military Ops?

Thanks

 

I've been flying 121 and 135 for 11 years. I have never seen a darned turkey on board in a passenger seat!! I'd say it's entertaining news to this airline pilot. How many turkeys have you seen??

Cargo?... I've flown pigs, horses, baby giraffes, a baby elephant, rare art work, one off luxury cars, but none in a passenger seat.

 

"Commercial pilot" doesn't need to be capitalized. Are you a commercial pilot? I'd think you'd know how to title yourself if you have any operational experience. :roll eyes:

It's also a commercial certificate, or license, not a "rating". Ratings are additions, such as an IFR or type, they add to your certificate; something else I'd figure you'd know.

 

An emotional support turkey isn't news to you?? I've seen pigs and dogs... never a turkey!

Sounds more like an axe to grind against the dr for you...

 

Sorry about my poor English skills, it's been 3+ decades since my last Freshman English class. It's also been almost the same length of time since my last CFI work. You're right, it is proper to call it a certificate. Just about every reference I've dealt with since then has been a "rating".

My bad. It gets a little confusing sometimes trying to pronounce "Kinston" and "Kingston" in the same trip, remembering that ORD APP freaks out over 10kt speed diffs unlike others, figuring out if Havana is 120.25, 124.55 or 123.7 each day and what a "Flat Rock" looks like compared to a "Sail Rock"

I admit, there was a little digging on the turkey post. I was wondering about someone's claim as a commercial pilot and what exactly that meant. MY background is GA and have seen many claim what they are not.

The turkey looked like a good crew meal if the flight was long enough for a oven cook

 

Agreed. I have seen a "comfort snake" once. That was weird...

 

Don't worry dude, all the normal people understood what you were saying. He is just one of those literal folk that has to drive everyone around them nuts instead of just chillin out. Certificate? Rating? Who cares ffs
