I grow tired of hearing people talk about how they do "real" flying because they fly a T-Prop.. when in reality they have no experience piloting a jet aircraft to base such a pompous hypothesis . That is why I gave the harsh response. Having gone from the SAAB to a jet, never once have I considered myself not to be doing "real" flying. Each has their challenges and it is quite ignorant of TP drivers to label themselves as the only "real" pilots left.

Maybe it's just their TP pilot insecurity coming out, I don't know.

Calling any 121 flying "real flying" is like calling my kid's finger paint the Mona Lisa.

flying from unimproved strips lit by smudge pots, no radar coverage, no radio IFR, aerial firefighting, aerial application, and a dozen more I can't recall.... THOSE are real flying

So the wing operates under a different set of physics? The push-to-talk button is now a pull-to-talk?

real flying is when you have wings, an engine (jet or prop or rotor) and you leave the ground under power......... not real flying is when you jump off a cliff or out of an arplane.....thats falling not flying...... enough said :P

Do you fly for Colgan? No. Why do you always pop up in these threads unrelated to your company? Are you that bored and just wish to get involved with every Colgan thread? Hey man, were hiring, c'mon back and do some REAL flying!! Just messin with ya.

Im pronouncing this thread dead at 0508 Zulu

I dont think anyone has talked about Colgan or a resume in the last 20 posts.
