I just want to clarify, the point of this thread wasn't to pit once aircraft against each other. It was to point out a lack of professionalism on the radio. Anytime anyone, from a C152 to B777, has ever asked me to move my aircraft they have said "tower will you ask N123BC to pull ahead so I have access or will you ask the citation X to pull up a little". The Dask Pilot's comments were unprofessional. If he is going to be throwing around comments like that then he should at least know something about the piece of equipment he is referring to.

I never mentioned the word "stupid," you did. I never made an inference.

I never mentioned renumeration; you did.

Safety has "everything to do" in [our] industry...as least that is my viewpoint.

Fly safe, and I wish you the best with your aspirations.

Just because I used your quote for my response doesn't mean all of my response comes from what you said. Yes, you did not say stupid. But others were questioning whether or not we had proper situational awareness. I would love to fly our proper profiles all the time. But because of RJ's that have to do 180 kts or whatever all the way to the runway because their wing design is so jacked up at slow speeds and ATC knows that the Dash is designed and fully capable of SAFELY handling those types of approaches. I pride myself if always considering saftey as my number one priority.

Blah Blah Blah, I fly a jet and someone in a prop made fun of me. Who cares? Don't you have anything better to itch about? Seems like you are really the only one upset here. I doubt the guy in the Dash ever even thought twice about it.

I was apologizing and clarifying.

Not trying to be loquacious either.

Take care and fly safe.

Why didn't you query approach about getting lower sooner so you wouldn't be in the position to have to do that?

Sounds like a lack of situational awareness?

Not a big deal in a Dash.........because you can.

This thread borders on the silly.

Everyone flubs up on the radio from time to time. Sometimes people make comments that they shouldn't.

I stepped on somebody and told the controller "sorry" when I checked in. Some smumg jerk says "he would get eaten alive at EWR". As much as I wanted to tell him "yeah, thats why I go to LGA instead." I didn't. It made me mad but I got over it.

I will miss that airplane but flying the 900 should be fun as well, just a different kind of fun.

Not really, especially from the right seat for the same pay as the leftovers in the right seat of the Saab....(unfortunately it looks like that will be where I sit soon too so...)
