G'day mates.
I seen this website on a coupla o'casions and I reckon it s about time I said what buncha wallys some of ya like ta make outcha are.
Now I gotta lotta respect for truckers, and bussies, an I even know a bit about flyin' meself - me mates a pilot an e's taken me up a coupla times on the weekends.
Ain't all that hard cos e's flown wivvout an instructor pilot next to him after e's been flyin for only 10 hours. An' me, I had a go meself - funny 'ow your work that accelerator with ya hands by pushin' an pullin' - sorta like a cross between a car accelarator an a motabike handle ain't it!
Anyaways, I got ta thinkin', why the fark do youse need all this trainin"?
Like a semi driver can learn to do his sh/t in about 10 hours, an' a bus driver can do it in abouts the same time. What makes youse think that ya need that much extra time.
I rekon me cabbie mate - given 20 or 30 hours - could be an airline pilot if 'e really wanted to be.
(I could too ya know, 'caus I gave it a burl, an' it ain't all that hard).
What's ta stop some people who want ta fly big jets from jus' doin' a training course?
Seems like it's a simple job. Specially if ya know what buttons to push.
An yer getting paid ****eloads to do it.

Ocker,
Sir, what you seem not to realise, is that we are paid not for what we do, but more for what we know, and how we can apply our knowledge to whatever situation we may find ourselves in.
Same as a trucky, he/she has knowledge about his/her machine which is pertinant to any situation they may find themselves in.
If you should ever venture into looking at the training we undertake, you'll find that we're all in fact aviators, doctors, lawyers, meteorologists, physicists and mathematicians all rolled into one.
Does that talk us up enough?

Give us a bl00dy break, mate - for what we know!
Ya tryin' to make out that ya some kinda wise prophet or somethin', ace?
Exactley what do ya know, that ya couldn't learn to anyone in say 2 or 3 months?
Mate, it's a piss-easy job I reckon, clean air, warm in winter, an' nice n' cool in summer, an' ya don't have to get ya hands dirty like most of the run a the mill workers.
Ya get ya shirts supplied free an' a few little other perks - like cheap travel an' cushy hotels.
Hey, c'mon guys, don't try an' bullsh!t yourselves, let alone me an' the others. The job just ain't what it used to be no more is it.
Mosta them so-called "skills" ya got are hardly ever used in today's airliner. How many of youse have had an engine konk out on ya fa real?
Bugga all I reckon.
An how hard do ya REALLY work, when yar at work - I mean like usin' them skills? Usually you've got "George" plugged in, and ya jus sit there bored sh!tless 'til the landing.
Hate ta say it fellas, but in my opinion all of youse could be replaced by people like meself in a pretty short time, if the companys and the govament decided to go hard at it.
After all, why do ya need to train fer a coupla hundred hours on little aeraplanes, learning sh!t ya ain't gunna ever use again when ya fly the big buggas!
Jus' grab a bloke, an' stick him straight aways onto the biggie an' teach him how to handle that.
Saves him a bundle, an' the employer can pay 'im what he's REALLY worth.
Wake up n' smell the coffee blokes, there's lotsa folks who'd jump into that seat yar in fer a lot, lot less than there payin' ya right now. An' I reackon that's the way the industry headed.
Same with the bl00dy shielas dishin' out the tea n' bikkies down the back - an' don't come that smae cr@p about "for what we know". How long's it take ya' to learn the "for what we know (but you don't...yet)? A week or two may be..
I reackon give it 5 years, an industry standard wages are gunna have most of youse pegged around the same level as cabbies, truckers and bussers.
Nuthin' spiteful, ju me own opinion!
See youse round.

Even disregarding the subject matter, that would have to be the most unfunniest attempts at humour I have ever seen in my life.
Mate, I felt seriously embarrassed for you as I read those two posts.

I just love to see the pilot ego in action.
Continental 520 do you really believe
It's a pretty bold thing to compare yourself to all of these degreed professionals, what degree do you have??
A small understanding from many disciplines reminds me of an old addage.....jack of all trades..........
Quite often I get more than a tad impressed with the skill and dexterity of the pilots either side of me when they have pulled off a difficult landing that had me digging my fingernails in to the seat cushion, because I can't do it - but I could if I wanted to learn to do it. My admiration for this skill fades when it is tainted by pilots who think they are gods gift to the world, for you guys it's time for a reality check, take an objective look at what you do, it's just a job like any other only a lot more boring.
Go start your own business and earn millions of dollars by your own achievement, then you can hav an ego all of your own

I ain't tryin' ta be funny Bear, an by crikey by sheer co-incidence I just seen a simlar topic on the main inter-national forum page called "A bleak future fer aviation?" 'ere's the link fer youse
http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...hreadid=101322
Most of the blokes seem ta 'ave pretty much the same sorts of thoughts - well kinda the same, like the ones wot I put 'ere.
If ya're a young whipper snapper just gettin' inta flyin', i don't reckon I'd be committin' meself to deep fer to long based on ya current salry.
Ave a good 'ard look at the way yer industrys goin' mates (an shielas), and ask yerselfs where ya REACKON ya gunna be 5 or 10 years down the track.
The flyin' industry is about ta go thru' one of it's biggest transfermations - fact is, it's well inta it right now an I don't reackon a lot of youse even realise it, ya know that!
See youse round.

A bl00dy wind-up, no way mate!
I don't reackon some of youse could see a bl00dy semi-trailer comin' standin out on the Birdsville Track, 'til just before it hit ya!
Rice almighty theres new low cost airlines springin up all around you - just about poppin' outta ya ears, stickin' blokes in the pointy end of Jumbos, wiv no more than a cuppla hundred hours on bugsmashers, payin' 'em crappy wages, an a few of ya carn't see the bl00dy forest for the trees.
C'mon boys, get real - how hard IS it to fly? Guarenteed if ya took a young 18 or 20 year old off the street whose never flown ever before, and stuck 'im in one of them simbulaters for 4 hours a day for a month, you'd ave 'im flyin it as good as any of youse!
Am I right or am i wrong?
The technology of todays airoplanes allows it to be that way. Wether ya like it or not.
The new technology (I like that word!) has and is REPLACING your skills!
Sum of youse need a prod with a sharp stick to make ya see where the salery status of pilots is headed.
No way I'd be sending anya me kids into the flyin game if they was that way inclined today. No bl00dy way, mate.
