Shlaaper,
It appears obvious to me that the doctor schlaaped you too hard at birth (or maybe not hard enough).
If I care to make a compliment to a fellow aviator on his\her professionalism either to their face or by any other means available, then it is just that "a compliment".
I may have only been a pilot for a limited amount of time, but I've been in the industry for enough years to have a very good idea of the types of people that frequent it, and with comments like yours, you "my friend" are exactly the type of person that I have avioded. Your probably the one standing out the front telling all the other pilots your war stories for the umpteenth time!
I know that the only thing that shall get me into the type of work that I have earmarked is study and hard work and maybe a little insider trading, but hey, thats the steps we take in life,eh? If I do happen to be in a position to work around high time pilots, then I only hope that it is their professionalism and knowledge that wears off onto me, not the back stabing and bitching that you talk about!
I do not and will not apoligise to you or anyone else for giving a compliment to anyone that I see fit!
End of story.......
Thanks for your comment SaSless
