reddo - you asked how many, and I presume therefore you include everyone who was criticising A320's posts. Or do I somehow not count because I am employed as a pilot, and so suggesting that your own argument was flawed. Makes it a rather circular argument, if you ask how many are employed then complain that those who are shouldn't assume they are being asked. Like a politician or lawyer, knowing how to ask a question so you can only get the answer you want.

Saffer

So how can it ring true if he fails to actually back up what he says? What are the stories you have to back up what you say? How do you know so much about the business? Those of us pointing out A320's dishonest posting have given reasoned argument, so where are those from A320 or those saying he is right, and I mean reasoned arguments not non-specific whinges A320 regularly attaches to any thread he feels like diverting? Curious by their absence.

If you knew anything about the aviation charter business you would know why charter pilots have a lot of spare time. Sometimes we are just waiting for a flight, not the most exciting thing in the world, but the flying side is great. Hence why I sometimes have several days off posting, when I am flying all day (or all night!).

360 degree

I would ask the same of you as I asked Saffer - how do you know so much, what is the reasoned basis for saying A320 is right when he has been proved to have lied?

Is that an example of sharp wit?

Snigs.
Glad you agree. A320 has the hallmarks of a good troll. Start a thread, stir it up then sit back and watch except this time he's gone one better and had someone start it for him.

I mean, look how hard some people have bitten . A nerve or two been touched here methinks.

Carry on children, play nicely.

So Send Clowns,

What exactly is it that I said that I need to back up? I said I would buy him a beer, and I’m more than willing to back that up.

In terms of my knowledge of the industry, well who are you to assume my standing and experience. No, I’m not in the fortunate position to be paid to fly…..I am merely one of those with a frozen ATP, the kind that you like to assume a position of authority over. However my daily dealings and experience within both BGA and Commercial aviation, across all aspects of an organisation from Finance to Chief Pilots certainly allows me to make a judgement on the state of the industry if I so choose. At the end of the day it is my opinion, it’s an educated opinion and I am entitled to it – it is after all a forum, surely!

As for our friend, A320 – he has his opinion. Much of it is tongue in cheek; he’s posting in a language foreign to him and obviously feels let down by the industry. He’s not hijacking posts, and the only people he’s upsetting are those with an axe to grind and he knows it!

Of your 6,155 postings on this site, it seems like half of them have been dedicated to responding to A320 and venting on him. The other half, I might add, have actually been quite informative and helpful responses…

Who knows, maybe one day we will meet when you get on the line!

How about
A lot of what you say rings true
Does this not need reasoning to back it up? On the other hand where did I assume your standing in the industry? Where do I assume a position of authority over you?

I agree that you have given your opinion, which is useful. However you have previously not given more than that; as you acknowledge I pointed out you have not backed it which would have made it far more useful. You have hinted now at working in the industry, but still don't come up with arguments for why A320 is right, despite many posts pointing out incorrect posts he has made and the fact he usually omits, that he is only looking for jet jobs (as he has all but admitted, by sneering at single-crew and t'prop pilots, in addition to his pseudonym) and so misinforming people who do not have his obsession. In the past A320 has hijacked threads.

Notice that A320 has always refused to be drawn into commiting his reasoning and his background to the argument. Therefore even if he is correct he is not helping people make informed decisions! In my opinion his misrepresentations need to be challenged, to be fair to those that are new to the industry and trying to make a decision that will affect the whole of he remainder of their lives. Hence why I feel he needs a response. If we leave such disinformation unchallenged then this site becomes useless!

We might meet, I hope so, but I am on the line already. In fact we might already have met!

As for half my posts being on A320, look at my personal title! More than half my posts are elsewhere.
