First if any of these "professionals" have to correct your spelling on a blog board or be critical of your choice of words (class vs. course) they have already lost any argument or credibility. Having been here for awhile, I have watched these so called professionals completly lose it going into JFK and IAH. One particular individual from the big island could not handle the rapid instructions of the arrival into JFK and forget about the ground instructions. BUT, does this make him a lousy pilot or whatever Fart boy, et al would profes? No, it just makes him new to this particular enviornment as you will be flying east. I would love to be on the jump seat during the CIVIT arrival into LAX then getting changed to another arrival and then a runway change. These "unproven" RJ drivers from the west have been doing this for years. But just make sure your R/T procedures are to theses guys standards--the controlers in NY and LAX will just love you. And these guys trying to figure out when and to whom to say "heavy" to is a bit comical also.
