Cody:
After quite possibly one of the best weekends I have ever had:
You say that you are not trying to be offensive etc, but then why did I have an email from you saying I am asshole?
Since we are now all be open and upfront, I only have 80 hours total time, but am still learning and, yes, one day I will have thousands of hours.
Take my advice: Stop being patronising. On the just helicopters website somebody asked for career advice. You replied with the great piece of advice: 'It depends what your personnal goals are. It is up to you mate'.
Nobody minds answering a question from somebody who is keen to learn. I consider myself very fortunate to be learning in an expert environment where the instructors have thousands of hours. These guys are professionals. They know what they are on about. I don't offer them advice. I keep quiet, listen, absorb and ask relevant questions when necessary. If you have a question then use the correct terminology (a helmet is a helmet, not a 'brain bucket')
Before anyone accuses me of being patronising, I have worked in different countries, doing many different jobs. You my friend are 17 and still living at home. Nothing wrong with that at all.
But please, don't call me an asshole, because I am not. And as I have said to you before the helicopter world is very small. Tread carefully.
