Secret Squirrel,
Thank you very much for your comments. I believe those comments were exactly what K…. was expecting to hear from a Tuff professional like you?!
("Poor deluded soul. It would take me 4 weeks to learn your job but it would take you considerably more to get qualified in mine. I never tell OPS how to do their job. I do, however, feel at liberty to question certain decisions. If they don't like it TUFF!")
1. My experience tells me that, someone who speaks like you do not "survive" long enough to be released in any OOPS Department. I trained an ex-pilot which took me considerable amount of time and patience. Lesson nbr1 was how to do a flight plan. Lesson nbr2 was about I.T. and nbr3 What do the pilots need???!!
After two years he is doing OK..??!! But, that one was the first and the last one.
I can bet you that relatively speaking it will take less time a certified Ops person vs civilian ab-initio becoming a pilot than a certified commercial pilot vs certified Ops doing Ops.
My percentage!
2. The liberty to ask questions is in both directions, how we make them is another issue and decisions we all have to carry sometimes together.
("KGMSY, it may sound very amusing to waltz into a flight deck and ask if the bugs have been set etc., except there's only one problem: you're not qualified to ask that question. You wouldn't know whether the pilots were telling the truth or not. So you should sit down, be silent, and speak when spoken to only." )
3. Once again I disagree; There are pilots that need to be told to read the MEL and proceed immediately to the destination;
("The majority of ops guys are good at their job and they understand that we have certain responsibilities. We also have a thing called a licence which we don't want to lose because some pressurised Ops manager has to keep the show on the road. Would you deny that occasionally (granted, rarely) you try it on with us and cajole us into flying outside of our limits?)
("KGMSY, Boredcounter, get a life or get a licence.")
4. We all can buy Pieces of paper on the Market depending on the budget if it is yours or from your Parents. There are certified personnel with "things" every where which can be lost for one reason or another. Insurance might be an option to keep them.
So, Prestigious Operations Gentlemen and Intruders,
I do not agree with some K… points and I think he or his Department showed some problems that only one person can solve and certainly you (S.S.) are not the one, because your comments look like coming from a "Negro on the right seat flying with some s***t Airline in Europe…!"
S.S. make sure the needles are centred on your next ILS and please read the Notam´s before you go to bed. Sweat dreams.
I Steel feel the need for Speeeed…..!!!!!!!
