Arpster, Galaxy, BOAC and others...
We all have been on this site for years...we all have years and many hours behind us...(myself, I am 46 hrs short of the golden # 10,000, and will never see it)...We don't always agree, but as Captains we have never, ever called each other "DUDE"...
Valent has stirred a hornet's nest...He obvivoulsy has zero to very little experience...Reporting his "DUDE" to the Chief Pilot for something that probably scared the sh!t out of him? And you are feeding him by discussing the fine points of something that probably never happened?
With extensive experience in Africa (Transafrik, Cameroon Airlines, Trans Air Congo and SAFIR), even though I was born and bred in the USA/FAA...I feel I have seen it all and I have had pissants like Valent imposed on me...
Please don't give him his due, send him packing to FL510 and let's keep the Prune for real pilots...DI3G
