A)Stop crying because I told you $200 on a bag was a waste. It's old already.

B) asking a question about something doesn't mean there is a complete lack of knowledge. I'm just not to embarrassed to ask a question when I have one. I know hypocritical idiots as yourself will usually chime in but there are always a few who are glad I asked.

C)I don't consider getting robbed irresponsibility on my part

D)Didn't pass the f/o ride on the first try you're correct. Didn't know the honeywell too good. Spent one lesson on it. Big deal. If that's all I have ot worry about then life's too easy.

E)At least I'm not 7-8yrs down the road and stuck in the same position making the same ****poor amount. You sound like a baby. I could easily come down on you hard and break out some real world facts but what's the point. You are obviously bitter so I'm guessing you don't need me to point out your real issues. I don't care if you blame it on the industry all you want. You are where you are because of your own decisions as well as everyone else. If you hate that so much then go be a truck driver like the other guy lol. Don't get all ****y because life sucks for you now.

D)yes I don't make stable approaches. It's become quite and issue lately. I'm constantly having to yell over the screaming pax in the back of the plane. Or perhaps once again you speak without knowing. The Colgan guys that flew into the airport where it happened admitted it happens all the time. One instance and you get all hissy-fitty. Grow a pair man.

We agree then. And I've been at Mesa for over a year and a half, so as you can see, I'm MORE than qualified to make that statement. I ******in' earned that right! :)

Where are you based if you don't mind me asking? I was with some of your fellow pilots in ORD the other day. We went and ate lunch and spent a few hours in the crew room. They were talking about the base situation and most of them were TDY'd there.

You couldn't be more wrong. But then again, from somebody who has been in a 121 line pilot for less than a year, well........

And as far as my income, again, you could not be more wrong,

You couldn't be more wrong considering you've bent and twisted everything and tried to make it some kind of fact. Considering we've never met, you've never flown with me, and you were never there for any of those instances I'd say you have no leg to stand on. Also didn't you agree to quit trying to "troll for trouble"? Don't know what interest you have in that. I actually could care less. I don't care if a person has been 121 for 30 years or works as an accountant. I believe person's future is determined by that person. Others believe it's the future and they are subject to whatever it brings.

If another 9/11 hits tomorrow how many have backup plans? Do you want to sit at the bottom of a seniority list because you just went lateral? Was that gamble worth it? You can call me inexperienced all you want but if this job disappeared tomorrow I already have my next one secured.

Honest to God true story.

I interned at Chautauqua (before there was a Republic Airways Holdings) before Rosa Mosley (who was AWESOME) left the company. She had 3-foot stacks of resumes all over her little cube of an office, many from pilots at places like Mesa, Air Midwest, Piedmont, Allegheny, TSA, etc. I asked her once what she thought about hiring a pilot that had been with another airline for less than a year, about their lack of loyalty. You know what she told me?

"I don't worry about their loyalty to us - that's what the training contract is for."

Like I said, honest to God true story right there.

Alright toiletducky, I'm going to point something out to you, others may have noticed it as well. I didn't have to be there for any of the instances in which you speak. You provide enough information and details, as well as open up yourself enough that those of us that respond don't have to be there.

You have come in here more than once, asking for advice or talking about something you may may have made a mistake on. Thats cool, no harm in that. That is how many of us learn, seeking the counsel of our peers.
However, there has been more than one case where somebody did tell you that you in fact screwed up, and should have known better. Well, you didn't like that, then you tried to defend your foible and look for vindication that you did the right thing. What was the point in asking the question and opening up yourself to critique if you can't handle it?

Now, let's expand on that some more in case you missed it. Every time you do something or screwup, you seem to have a justification for it. If that's the case, then again, why seek the opinions of others?

Cases in point;

You couldn't operate the equipment you were flying, nor understand the clearance. And to top it off, the guy you were flying with was not the safest. Others pointed it out to you multiple times, and things you wrote made it clear that the guy is not safe, even though he does have a lot of experience. You tried to say it was OK because you were flying with him. Who's fault is it that you were in that situation, yours or his?

You fly unstable approaches, because as you put it, the passengers are screaming. Really, in a EMB you hear that? Besides, are you not a competent aviator and able to block out distraction and focus on the the task at hand, flying the airplane? Another excuse/justification for poor airmanship.

You failed your FO checkride. No problem, it happens. But you failed because you said you only received one day of FMS training. Boo hoo. How may other new hires failed because they only had one day of FMS training? Again, an excuse/justification for poor performance.

Your passport, funny. When you came on here saying you lost it, you NEVER mentioned that it was stolen. You just said you lost it. I even jokingly asked if you looked in your backpack that you are so proud of, remember? Somebody that is older and wiser than you tried to offer advice (TonyC) about how to handle it. You didn't take his advice, saying that it would be a pain to do what he suggested. Again, justification. You then came on here shortly after, still complaining about the passport. If you would have simply just **** and taken his advice, you would have had passport in hand and been on your way. In fact, I remember Tony basically ***** slapping you on two different occasions. Again, you probably should have taken his advice and just shut up, both times.

Go ahead, research the threads and track down EVERYTHING that you posted in the above cases. Point out where I have skewed the facts. Sorry to break it to you "chief", but there has been more than one time when you don't have to the experience or knowledge to back up things you have posted. You basically put your foot on your mouth, and can't handle the fact that you can't take responsibility for some of you actions.

You are right, we've never met. And that's OK, don't care to meet you. True, I've never flown with you, again, don't care too. You provide enough detail about yourself and your skills that I really wouldn't want to.

Hey, you have a back up plan in case something happens, good for you! So do many of us.

Actually I admit mistake and take it when it's given just fine. That's something you have to do in order to belly up to the bar and ask a question based on it. It's not until someone of your caliber uses that instance to take a cheap shot by altering the facts. In the instance you mentioned I was simply asking about the clearance. however without asking more details you quickly jumped to conclusions saying we were unsafe etc. I then had to go into more detail to show safety wasn't an issue but by then you had already made momentum for yourself.

They aren't excuses they are factual reason of what happened. If I ask how to replace a lost passport the quickest then that's the question. Receiving a "You shouldn't have lost it" is not a response. Either help or be gone. I shouldn't have to then spend pages explaining that actually I was robbed and it was taken. If you had the ability to stick to the subject at hand instead of branching off into multiple directions with it things would never come to that. This thread is perfect example. One guy says don't make laterals. I say I don't understand why people with todays market run to one company only to leave shortly after. You jump in and take every fake cheap shot you can.

If you take a look back you'll see that in every instance you start things off by making a quick cheap character assassination attempt. Just like you have here and your many many times before. You take any question one asks and turn it into another reason why they are stupid and aren't on the same level as you. I say it doesn't make financial sense to spend a ton of money on something you can get for half price and you start with the cheap shots there. It's all your good for. There's a sever lack of usable information coming from you. Just cheap shot after cheap shot. Unprovoked and uncalled for and it's the reason several people have left this forum.

Like I said I'm thick skinned and honestly you can take all the cheap shots you want just make them accurate. Asking one question on a clearance from a while back doesn't mean I don't understand all clearances. Asking one question on the 530/430 stack garmin doesn't mean I don't know how to turn them on. Just because other people of the same negative influence chime in doesn't make it anymore accurate when people who actually have flown in my area say it's common.

You blow things out of proportion, you go looking for trouble, and do all you can to push people's buttons. You've done it time, time, and time again as you did here. Because YOU don't agree with a post does not give you the right to start character assassination. It's lack of maturity. The fact I sometimes have to fire back makes me feel childish and I hate it.

Make no mistake. You and I work on the same level. At the same types of companies doing the same things. I've set goals for myself and continue to achieve them by the times I've set. There isn't one single damn thing that makes you any better that's why I have no issues taking your smack. You are no better by any means. I'll stick by my statements and you can either be mature and say you don't agree or you can keep saying 'You don't have much 121 time' as if it matters like some child. I don't plan on staying at a regional as long as you have so I guess I'll never really know:rolleyes:

As far as where you bend statements? Everything in your previous one about not working equipment, can't fly a stable approach, work with someone who's borderline dangerous is all BS. What's the name of the guy I work for? Ever met him? Know his credentials? How many approaches have I shot? How many have I gone missed on? How many were unstable? I'm an expert on luggage? I said that were? It would be a long list if I continued on the things there were simple and innocent that you turned into this "OMG the worlds on fire". So there are a few examples and that's just because I only wanted to scroll up this page. I don't feel like finding them all as that would be a waste of my time. Way to take yet another thread off topic.

Its fair to defend yourself duck, but you've got a lot of things to say for somebody that hasn't been flying the line for more than a few months.

From Hamlet: "lend your ears to many but your thoughts to few." Good words for many of us newbies.
