Why are we so courteous??
Having read most of the threads where flight deck are the main contributors,( rumours and news etc) Why is there so much agression and insulting of fellow aviators. Compared to our own thread ( Engineers ), apart from the odd comment about spelling and grammar, there are no insults. Do flight deck suffer from one upmanship and if your comments are a little wrong, your a plonker or worse. Most, if not all Engineers I know are helpful without being rude if they disagree with comments made. Why I wonder???

We are courteous in this forum, because at work we rip the micturate out of each other for most of the long day, so being nice is a refreshing change! But to be serious for a moment (what, me, serious?) for the best part, I find that if you keep a civil tongue in your gob, (that is because I cannot spell mouth, Moon!) that at least goes some way to putting your point across and getting your way. If you rant and become abusive then it can go against you to the point that no one takes any notice of you. Plus, it goes some way to showing the Ppruning public that we oily, greasey thechey types (and avionics too Moon) are of superior breeding to others in the aviation field who only think that they are superior to us.
Just remember that the technology to fly without aircrew already exists, but without a CRS, the aircraft goes nowhere. But that is a different thread an a different forum.

Why should we take the P out of each other? We are all in the same boat together, some may not be able to row in the same direction but after all most of us chose to do this for a living!

It's not what you know, it's how you bluff!

Maybe we're just nice peeps?
I was going to suggest that perhaps spelling is more difficult when you're being rude, but now I've read a couple of replies above I need to go away & think again..
Very best of good wishes to all (esp. girlie fixers, who are the best reason to be polite on the hangar floor, just like at home.)
Luv you all to pieces

Engineers courteous? I never thought of it like that before, but upon reflection I realise that its generally true, at least amongst ourselves. Perhaps its because we are "professionals?"

Coriolis,
Lordavmercy baby!!
I almost fell off my chair reading this....
Care to share that with a few of my buddies out here? Treating me politely is not exactly their, um... forte. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; I've learned to take the piss out of them with the same ruthless efficiency!
And, truth be known, I think it'd set my teeth on edge if they were always walking (politley) on egg-shells around me anyway.

Good morning, my esteemed fellow engineers and technicians.
I'm afraid our peers(who we have to greet and converse technically with on aircraft flight decks), over on the rumours and news forum are devalueing themselves and calling each other pimps and whores.
Albeit very highly paid pimps and whores.

I feel compelled to add to this topic, take it as you will. Last week, A young Cessna driver couldn't park in our normal spots and had to put his chariot some distance away. As this particular fellow had overnighted, he had some extra personal belongings with him. Being the kind hearted bloke I am, I jumped on the tractor and drove down to collect him. When we got back to the hangar, he jumped off and walked away........No thanks, nothing.
I think that says it all, different respective attitudes.
