Apology

Just curious though.....other than my feebly-attempted and poorly received sarcastic statement, have I EVER made a comment on this board that was derogatory or condescending in any way to my aviation brethren to deserve the post that you directed at me? Please check my posts history under my profile and let me know. Thanks.
Cheers.


Hi there Terd,

Firstly thank you for the message. I appreciate the insight to the reasons for the past posts on the various threads.
Secondly I would like to Apologise for the very harsh remarks made by me on the last post on this thread. The actual intent of those posts were not known and now that they are, my remarks were uncalled for and unprofessional on my part.
The reason for defending our fellow VFR pilots against remarks directed towards us is very obvious. VFR operations in the UAE are not really welcome and seldom receive the sort of respect that counterparts elsewhere receive. Therefore when someone comes around and rubs this fact even deeper like "surrounded by idiots" and "slag off VFR", it just is uncalled for. With the added crap that we receive from "SOME ATC WATCHES" in Dubai. ( I KNOW I WILL DEFINITELY BREW UP ANOTHER STORM WITH THAT REMARK"

To stir this up even more...... Orbiting for 20 ~ 40 mins waiting for a slot IN will eventually drive people nuts. Sitting at the holding point for similar amount of time will do the same. All this because some CAN"T and DON"T want to fit us IN.............
Hence the more crap VFR pilots will receive from certain parties the more defensive they will get.

By the way, that pilot who made the remark last time. Does he like saying stuff like "The indians are hanging inside this airplane" when he has to lose quite a significant amount of altitude on final approach, because he has done that too, and I have heard that.

Anyway, enough of that....
Take care and safe flying..
