50% of Pprune Pilots Total Assholes?

[The Sleeping Pax]

Well come on guys . You do ask for it!

[Kaptin M]

You've miscounted, it's much higher than that. No cockpit visits for you, Sleeping Pax

[7times7]

are pilots categorised as technical or professionals as they would like to be called in terms of job description?

Everyone here has certainly been respectful of me, and I appreciate it.

[The Sleeping Pax]

Kaptain N, You may well be right, but if you have read my missives in the past I am all in favour of keeping you animals well segregated from we SLF. : ;):

Bubbette, I too have been treated with the utmost respect and it is also appreciated. What I am referring to is the backstabbing that seems to go on in so many of the Threads in this Forum. That these guys are responsible for our safety and that we seem to be treated with such distain by so many of them seems to be contrary to the first word of this site. PROFESSIONAL. :rolleyes:

Dude one of the things you have to remember is that Pilots are just normal people who like you and the world and his brother get wound up at work and it can be very hard to express yourself at work, due to the fear of getting a bad name or being looked at as a lose cannon because you are prepaired to speak about a senitive issue.
So this is where this wonderful forum comes in and allows members of the 1 & 2 wing master race to come and let off a load of steam without any fear of action...
But you are right the is a lot of back stabbing going on but you get that in any job and any industry, and there are some dudes who should not be writing in these forums but there you have it.
Just remember we need to let steam off some how and this to me is the best place to do it!
Cheers Speedjeans :)

Catch you on the flip side!

[The Sleeping Pax]

Speedjeans. I take your point 100%. I hope you noticed the "Winking Icon" at the start of my initial posting. I just wish there was a forum like Pprune for my own industry so I could occasionally let off steam. Yes we all get stabbed in the back and, if we are honest, we backstab too when necessary (sadly)to further our own careers. http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif

Why don't you email Danny and start one yourself? You can use the UBB as a guide.

Interesting point Sleeping Pax.

In the last month I've been approached by two totally separate and non aviation professions asking if we could set up a PPRuNe equivalent for them. Hmmmm.

PPRuNe Towers--

I've written about this place (bloody journos, eh?) and suggested that many more industries would benefit from having a similar system. Hold on, I'll see if I can find the URL... this is from a UK trade weekly called IT Week. Includes happy smiling mugshot of yrs truly -- be warned.

There is deffo a market for community engineering like this. Turning that into a business would be harder, though -- marketing and support costs would not be negligable, although there are some interesting models in open source which may be worth thinking about.

Good grief, see what you mean about the picture, though glad you can't see me ;).

The article was spot on though. I feel so much better after a good rant on the prune, and who knows, someone might even take notice.
