hey Sunfish knows even less of what he's talking about than I do. Just because he hasn't been "labelled" people suck in his baits and they ignore mine?
Does anyone even know what he's trying to say? Does he? Anyone?
Anybody?
Bueller?
I think it's pretty obvious that Sunfish has a tiny dick and no wings. He says he's a pilot but if were he would be joining in the mud-slinging like any real pilot instead of bitching about it like some clueless wangless eunuch.
Sorry but he has sucked you ALL in, especially you BEANOSS.
I've told you before to wise up but I fear you shall always flounder in the limbo between flyer and groundling. 
Why is it the Outsiders (including ATCOs) are trying to tell us how to behave? Can they fly? I don't think so. And if they can who cares, they are not part of the Brethren of the Braid....... No Stick, No Vote. ...
You're all on my ignore list.
(that's a middle finger he's holding up)

agree sunfish,
Compare this forum with the forums of the likes of Flightinfo.com and this forum is full of backbiting personal attacks etc. I quite enjoy it and find it good for a laugh if it weren't so immature sometimes. For example some of the stuff people call Dick Smith around here makes me think this place is full of high school students.

Of course I am ego-driven and immature .... I'm a pilot for Gawds sake!
If I was mature, well adjusted and cogent I would have a real job, this is the only industry where a man like me can get paid!
Professional does not equal anal, chum.
And even lawyers can have a laugh sometimes.
Oh, and I'm also an engineer ....... of sorts.
I'm so confused ......
Have fun anyway

Just remember, taxi drivers are considered Professional drivers!
and just another thing, off topic, is it me or has the industry been in general decline (in GA) since the industry became a User pays system?

The whole industry has been in decline (except for one company) since user pays came. Most of the freeloaders have gone. A big shakeout is taking place, and we should all be very humble.There is a small, very vocal group of so called "professional" pilots, who make up about 10 percent of Australia's pilots, and some of the white shoe brigade who are trying to manipulate the industry for personal gain. They are rapidly losing credibility.
Many changes have occurred. Many more are coming.
This is my opinion.

All I can say is that if the medical and legal professions carried on like some of you lot, the average life expectancy would be 25 years and the prison population would be double what it is.
Some of you need to grow up.

Sunfish, I saw a couple of your early posts, and did quite honestly think you were a sixteen year old wannabe.
maybe you wanna take some of your own advice.
Cheers, Wiz.

Juvenal cynically said, 'The troubled people long for two things only: Bread and circuses.'
Some people may live for the subjects on pprune. However, this thread is definitely the latter in the quote.
I can hear that deep chuckle from Sunfish reverberating around Australia. Sucked in good and proper.

"If the medical profession carried on like you lot, the ave. lfe expectancy would be 25 years ..... "
Interesting to note, travelling on an aircraft in this country is one of the safest in the world - we all must be doing something right? Sure, a certain amount of luck, as well as kind terrain (mostly around the larger hubs), all in all, I think we can be proud.
As far as growing up, no thanks, I will stay a little boy who likes 'planes', trapped inside a 33 year old body (you are only as old as the woman you feel?)
As far as proffession goes, well this site IS called "Professional Pilot's Rumour Network".
If you do not derive your income from flying these things, then do you really have the "Aussie Pass" to even comment? Get a Comical licence, get screwed real hard for a few years flying pieces of crap, have fun and maybe it will all be worthwhile.
Then come back and comment on us immature lot.

For christs sake Sunfish ( and friends ) have you been smoking crack ??
I'd rather get on an aeroplane with any of these egotistical, juvenile, etc etc than get on an operating table with some of the QUACKS in this country !! If you put down your Archie comics to watch the news and current affairs occasionally , you would see how many law suits there are against doctors in this country, at least we don't try and rape our passengers ( well, not on the A/c ), and don't even start on Lawyers, s##t!!
You and your post have zero credibility, I suggest you listen to some of the other posts and take a hike, and yer mate Smith.

The Qualification for commercial pilot seems to be the posession of an ego the size of the Opera House.
The posts on this site seem to be about:
1) employment - Most of you seem to have difficulty coming to terms with managements view that you are nothing more than gloriified bus drivers. You have yet to develop a coherent explanation of why this view is wrong.
2) Incidents and accidents - Again the posts seem to be about why it is never the pilots fault.
3) Your Sense of entitlement and a wistful regard for "the good old days" when you think you got treated like gods. The reality is that a $500 GPS does most (but not all) of what a qualified airt navigator once did. Flight engineers are already gone.
4) Poking Fun at anybody who is not a Pilot, in an attempt to bolster your flagging ego.
Come on guys! If you are so smart why can't you provide a coherent response to Dick Smith and Airline Managements???
Your PR is a disaster, as is the AOPA PR let alone Dick Smith!
All we get from you is abuse and invective! I don't for one minute think I'm even a Pilot's rectum. I'm a miserable student that is trying to learn, yet when I go to the Gods on Olympus for advice and counsel (how is that for a topical pun?) all I get is crap.
To put it another way, you guys may have the qualifications, but I don't think many of you are professionals - otherwise you would not respond the way you do.
And Moderator Woomera, nice one moving this to the blow torch forum of aircrew. Your bias is showing again.

Mate, they do. Vocations that require a great deal of self-reliance and self-belief tend to attract those with fairly strong egos.
A few truisms under the guise of humour:
Q. How do you tell if there's a pilot at your dinner party?
A. Don't worry, s/he'll tell you.
Put 2 lawyers together and you'll get 3 opinions
Trying to organise doctors is like herding cats... (from a conference organiser!)
Give any of the other two professions an anonymous forum to spread their views and I guarantee there'll be a similar ungracious bunfight mainly populated by those with the most vocal natures and the most amount of free time to spend at the keyboard......
