Sorry, we forgot to ask you how many replies were allowed.

Nobody asked for the pilot to be fired and I'm pretty sure it will not happen

But probably the bank will not be too happy about it.

People were just commenting and expressing their opinion about what is shown in the video, more or less the purpose of a forum, I believe.

Hmm why so butthurt? Do you fly a hawker? I thought it was something worthy of discussion (I would say this doesn't happen all that often) or at least some friendly banter. If you dont like it why enter the thread, It isn't mandatory.

Hello, I currently fly the Hawker, our passengers or owners spend a lot of money, they have right of privacy and no to be noticed by an unprofessional
driver.

Frankly

maybe he hit it with a hammer and stuck it in the airflow to cool things down a bit?

More important was the distance he took to rotation? (most of the runway) Do not suppose he would have stopped if he had too and if he had lost an engine after takeoff not sure he would clear the terrain on one?

There's more at stake than some pilot who let's himself down in this way.

This has just served to highlight an aircraft and operator being in a certain place at a certain time. Now, knowing how paranoid some companies are, this is probably the bigger issue........which could be what the pilot will be selling in coming weeks!

Not a very professional pilot, never mind the fact his 'head' should be in the cockpit - not paying attention to airplane spotters - and that they are departing St. Maarten - which of any airports in the world is to airplane spotters as Monaco is to Formula One.

Ever seen flightaware.com ? Privacy is a thing of the past in aviation.

It just goes to show, much like that Russian dolly who took the picture of herself flipping the bird to the passengers at the back of the cabin and who was eventually found out, that media be it social or otherwise, will come back to bite you in the behind one way or another.

Not later than 2 weeks ago we had someone posting an "ad-hoc" tread on a bizjet (reg included) left with the rudder unlock when he/she could simply had prompted the local FBO to contact the crew. Now this witch-hunt based on a Youtube clip, where the a/c and its crew could be completely out of context...

Holy smoke, not something that I would do myself nor to be proud of but...aren't you busy enough, mate? Does it make you feel better to wish someone loses his livelihood for something you really know very little about?

Well...

1. If, again, if anybody would "have" to contact the owner, that would be the photographer, the only one that could have a reason to.

2. If you feel so strongly that he should be reported, why hope that someone else does it? Be a man and do it yourself, using your name of course, not anonymously.
