You felt that you didn't need to stoop to his level....but the need to retire to your computer and write this up.

Me too. I refer to the Dash as a "Dump truck with wings." It's been very good to me.

I read the original post and I thought it was just as useless as the responce. If I got on apc and complained about every Jack hole thing I see and hear at work I would have time to go to work! The second part of my post was just a question I have been pondering lately. I have noticed it seems dash guys are more protective of the plane they fly then other guys.

Was this thread posted, then deleted before?

I know I've commented on a thread *identical* to this one in the last couple weeks...

Bottom line - pilots in every segment of the industry flying all kinds of airplanes say stupid things on the radio. As a fellow Citation pilot, let this stupid crap go...

From: What day is it?

If it makes you feel any better, "back in the day," I was a Shorts 3-30 Captain at the FIRST "Piedmont Regional Airline." Anyone who remembers the Shorts knows three things:

1. They're ugly
2. They're slow
3. They're ugly...oops, said that
4. The PT6's left a LOT of soot on the vertical stabs

So...there we are one day, me and my F/O, taxiing out of the BWI ramp, behind another "pig." Piedmont calls for taxi in a very professional voice, hoping to beat us out to Rwy 28.

The ground controllers response? "Roger, follow the dirty pair of Shorts to 28."

Sometimes ya can't win.........
