Yep - only 5 replies to the original intent of the post. It got sidetracked (what thread doesn't eventually) by a poster who went off on a wayward tangent and then starting posting ridiculous things for whatever reason instead of nipping it in the bud at the beginning. Whether some understand it or not - people have credibility on these on-line *PROFESSIONAL* communities and the users need to know who they can/should listen too, for advice or reputable knowledge. This thread will stay up until it dies a natural death for those in the community to see who they are dealing with when it comes to certain matters.

Btw - the original answer was fairly simple don't you think. I mean even a cursory glance at Wiki reveals the major users:

Yeah, your right. Someone making an moron out if themselves is actually quite entertaining!

In this case it was actually quite sad - watching to the two cars speeding at each other for the inevitable crash and not being able to do anything about it because on of the drivers was................out of it?
For someone who spent, or still does spend, a lot of time on the forum wanting to be a mouth piece for new hires at an airline it will be hard to know the good info from the bad for quite some time.
Maybe some of his peers will take him aside and talk some sense back into him, knock the attitude down a few notches, welcome him back into the fold eventually, etc...? ;)

With the Timmay incident and this new CR guy pretending to be things that he isn't (or have experience that he doesn't), we as a community need to come down HARD on those that would misrepresent themselves and let them know that their credibility is in fact important in the professional world.

In that case, I'm horrified that these are the "aviators" who are flying around 50% of our domestic capacity. I swung over to the regional forum to see what was happening in the world and I'm totally in shock. I guess I shouldn't be based on the number of "SEE YA'S" in dramatic fashion I hear from regional pilots on the radio. Terrifying

Perfectly stated. I often wonder how some of these idiots make it as far as they do before being outed.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED that good reputations are important here, of all places. Round up the usual suspects, Clouseau.

like your mature mainline buddy Eaglefly, I mean I know he was not really hired at AA and flowed up but still. Just because he could have a GED, a dui, and 10 failed checkrides!

If you directing that post at me, Wingtips, try again. Eaglefly is hardly a buddy, we have never meet, dare you insinuate to the contrary.
