Read original thread.

G,
If you read original thread you will notice that I "didn't" say that all pilots were like this,I said "Some" pilots were like this.
Just quietly.
Wanty.

And I was just trying to calm down an increasingly petty and vitriolic thread with a bit of humour.

Genghis, see my earlier post - top of the page...!!

Gotcha.....



As for Warty, you seem unable to process simple information.

I will try one last time to spell it out in simple terms:

Try being respectful and polite and in most cases you will find it is re-paid back to you just as respectfully and politely.

If you can't reign in your attitude, you will find you "always seem to get disrespect from the snobby pilots, for some strange reason..." and you will never have a clue why.

I guess some peoples' lives simply serve as a lesson to others.

..............had calmed down

G
If you read this from the beginning up until the point where Srubed adressed me individually and started slinging **** in my direction,you would notice that my tone had calmed down significantly.It was not I who dragged up old wounds so to speak.
Wanty.

PS The very reason I wrote this thread to begin with, is that I do speak politely to pilots only to have some speak back as though I am merely a pleb.This I am sure, you would not appreciate either.

Well, Warty, what can I say. YOU are the one who started the sorry topic. You got some good feedback, despite your tone, and mine was a part of it.

Try to look past your bruised ego and you will see that I mentioned several times I have no problem with engineers. I have several good friends amongst them, as a matter of fact.
It was not I who dragged up old wounds so to speak.
Well you DID start it...

As for being treated like a plebe, why does this get to you so badly? Just IGNORE IT. Like ya mum said, turn the other cheek dear.

Wow, I went through this whole thread. It was quite some rant in the beginning. Well everyone has a bad day sometimes but maybe talking about it helps sometimes. Just to let it out. And usually find that it's not so bad anyway. So the whole situation can calm down, which this one actually did.

Well...

Until scrubed showed up. That's when the whole thing here started to turn quite ugly.

I see no more camps in this thread. I see only one person who even points out another person's typos just to prove - well, prove what actually?

Reading all this - and especially how scrubed tries to fight on and fight on and fight on no matter if there's anyone left who replies to his repetitive offenses - lets me fear, really fear, that there's a pilot being scaringly obsessive.


Now scrubed, go ahead, tear me and my post apart. I'm no native speaker so by pointing out my grammatical or orthographical failures you might find it quite easy to prove that I'm not worth commenting your wisdom at all.

Go ahead and have fun.

But PLEASE do what ever you can to not fly any aircraft until you saw a doctor to have this state of obsessivness treated.

It was nice to see this thread falling lower and lower down the list soon to become part of the archives.

That is until Mr D revived it!

Interesting thread:

Wanty has a huge nasty dummy spit, get’s told by everyone that he sounds like a pratt,

winds his head in in an effort to recover some lost face and save energy for another day,

everyone is happy,

scrubed comes along and gets in one last, late jab which stings wanty badly,

wanty fires up again and bites back, still conscious of the fact he looked a fool earlier on and tries to change his tune

scrubed keeps throwing in one last meaty bait

wanty keeps biting like there’s no tomorrow

other posters blame scrubed for the standard of wanty’s nasty first post.

Some german turns up and types 7 paragraphs but says absolutely nothing

did I miss anything?

"Fight on and fight on and... etc etc"...

Phalis, just what TF are you talking about??? Do you have any idea????

I only keep posting because Warty just won't let it die a natural death! Why aren't you levelling your condescension at him, instead??

Warty seems to have learnt his lesson. Even someone's wife pointed out his character flaws to him. I'm satisified with that but he just keeps coming back and throwing more fuel on the fire.

I don't mind replying, I have a lot of time on my hands.

Interesting how you don't seem to notice that every time I post something, Warty has also just posted ahead of me and is begging for a retort.

If you are incapable of determining this trend than I suggest you go back in for re-eavluation as to your suitability to continue in your current role, be it pilot, engineer or car-wash attendant.

It scares me that someone like you might be either flying or fixing an airplane......

Don't like it when someone is having a go at u hey Scrube??
Get over it ya girls d#ck.
Over the last few months it does appear that a lot of pilots are resonable blokes,unfortunately thier are the arrogant few who drag the rest down and give the impression that your all an arrogant bunch.

Why aren't you picking on Warty?? Why you picking on me?? Its not fair,pick on Warty,I haven't done anything wrong.
Have a winge ya girl.
To all those other pilots who did respond with reasoning in thier advice,thankyou,it's taken onboard.
The day I start taking advice from a "pompous pr##k" like scrub..,simply wont eventuate.

Wotsyors,ya missing the point in my original post.I did say "some" pilots,not all.Because someone has a go at a few of ya,you think it naturally reflects on all of you.Well if you want to take offence to this,thats your choice.I was inittialy trying to understand the mindset of some pilots, who "CHOOSE" to speak to engineers in the headset like garbage.There is no need for this at all.

Wow. What an amazing insight into the warped mind of one particular person.

I was having a few beers in Sydney with two engineers I know and I mentioned this. They had already read this sad thread and were p!ssing themselves about it. They reckoned they know who it is!!

Warty, I'm gonna tell it to you, warts and all, because I know that, deep down, you want to be loved like everyone else.

You will never get respect from the pilots in this lifetime BECAUSE:

They can sense your attitide. I know this sounds amazing to you but it's true. You can tell when someone has an attitude, often before they even open their trap. I think you are too far gone to recover now. You will always have this problem with pilots despite your assertions here that they are "not all bad".

I tried to help you with a few basics but you insist on replying with what you hope are offensive insults which just make me laugh louder at you!!

Please answer this question:

Do you realise you sound like you're arguing in a sandpit during kindy lunch-break??

I quote:
Get over it ya girls d#ck....Have a winge ya girl....a "pompous pr##k"
That's the kind of thing that will have this thread shut down, and then your opportunity to improve your self-worth and image will be lost.

Tell ya what, with filth like that coming outa ya cake-hole, no wonder people, including pilots, look down on you. Come on man, try a little harder, walk into the cockpit and SMILE. You might be amazed when you are actually treated nicely for a change.

Warty, maybe you confused Wotsyors with your fancy double-talk. First you said:
unfortunately thier are the arrogant few who drag the rest down and give the impression that your all an arrogant bunch
('scuse spelling... )

Then you said:
Because someone has a go at a few of ya,you think it naturally reflects on all of you
Try to think it through before you post!!

What a toss.
Firstly,that you reckon you were having a drink with a few engineers.Totally made up.
Secondly,you say they reckon they know who I am!!!

Go on proove it.I don't mind if you can name me.
You really think I would give a rats if they shut this thread down??
Mate as far as I was concerned,this thread was finished months ago, until you decided to come in on the equation ,(months late) I might add.

If I don't have the respect of the pilots as you say,why is it that there doesn't seem to be too many complaints about any of the work I have performed over fifteen years or so in the industry.

Anyway,keep the insults coming,as it has always been proof pudding to me,that the first sign of loosing an argument is resorting to personal insults.

This is like taking candy from a baby. Or shooting fish in a barrel.
ya girls d#ck....pompous pr##k....etc
the first sign of loosing (sic) an argument is resorting to personal insults.
Yes, well said, warty. Does the word "irony" mean anything to you?

Actually I think you'd be happy for the thread to end as it would put you out of your misery.

Nonetheless, in keeping with the thread topic and your comment on 15 years of doing your job correctly, what else would be expected?

Doing what you are paid for and supposedly qualified to do is your job. I would expect that you do this ith some abillity or else you'd have been sacked ages ago.

This is nothing to do with your attitude to those with whom you work and whose respect you crave.

I'm just trying to help, since in your initial post there was definitely a cry for help hidden in amongst the vitriole.

Believe me,normally I have a very happy go lucky attitude.But I will say this to you.If you were on the headset downstairs and been spoken to by some pilots, the way I have been on occasions,you would react in the same manner.Sometimes it is possible to be spoken to shabbily, if maybe I had of actually had some previous dealings with some of these pilots.But it becomes harder to except, if the very first words spoken to you by these people, are demeaning, for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they have had a bad day and doing this makes them feel better about themselves.
End of my input to this thread.
Seeya.
