Hi Im sure that the initial post was written in anger and therefore the tone used wasent really intentional. But to say that all pilots had "silverspoon daddies" is just sad, some of us have actually worked our a**es off to get where we are. Me myself would be absolutly useless as an engineer, not really having that magic mechanical fingers, so thats why Im a pilot. That said Im not defending anyone who shows any sort disrespect why talking about here, to me it just sounds ridiculous to "show off" whoŽs actually the boss here.
On the other hand, based on the fact that you engineer guys have more technical knowledge then us pilots, there are situations where I can feel uneasy with a engeenering decision because of my limited technical knowledge. Regarding fault XYZ our books says this and that, but engeenering realeases the plane for dispatch and according to MEL its correct can easily make you feel uneasy when you realise that you dont really know whats going on, and after all you will have to take that airplane up in the air and maybe fly it to a less favourable runway.
Even though the release was correct, there is a source of anxiety and can sometimes cause irritation, especially when some engineers (I say some, far far from everybody) just rushes over the whole procedure and leaves you none the wiser. Delay or not, if I would feel uneasy IŽd try to have the whole thing explained to me, even if that makes me look like a complete idiot in engeenering eyes.
After all, we are working together and not against eachother, most of us are not "silverspoon daddy" types and most of us dont have nothing against engeeners, more like great respect.
Hopefully you get respect by showing respect, hope I havent waster yours time now.
