Panel staff not available

Heard last night that Management Pilots, such as those on the interview panel, have got lots of flying coming up so that Base meetings can happen.

And of course at least one integral member of the interview panel will be attending the base meetings.

I think it is up to you good guys in Eagle to tell the spankers within your ranks to pull their heads in. I have very little time for the vast majority of Eagle pilots I have met, where does one get off thinking they are the coolest person in the airport just cause they dont fly a seneca anymore. Remember where you came from boys and girls.
As for their radio calls at unattended airfields, do you guys have your hands on your equipment while you are talking? Guess what... nobody listens.
As for the most sophisicated ..bla bla spank spank whatever he said... The gear it has in it is crap. Enjoy hand jobing it while everyone else drinks hot coffee.
If you can bring your self down to the level of being civil to the pilot of an obviously inferior aircraft go ask if you can have a squiz up the front of an ATR or J41, few more whistles in there chaps.
As for performance the CV580 and J41 crap all over you.

Thumper, you really should be more polite mate, you would be if you knew who you were making snide comments to.............

But while we're at it Spank and Go, how do you get the chip on your shoulder into that little twin?

Other than that, there are lots of good guys, and girls, at Eagle and good luck to all who have an interview.

You know, to be honest, that day at FUEL Coffee in WLG? What irratated me more, was that he was gobbing off about the B1900 and holding up the queue! I was desperate for a coffee.

You'd think with all that marvellous B1900 performance he was singing about, he'd beat me to FUEL Coffee and be gone before I got there. That way I wouldn't have had to wait in line behind him.

Then again, I got a good look at his halo, shining brightly right above his head.

Must have come with the B1900 endorsement.

Spank and Go,

You reinforce my opinion of Eagle drivers, thank you.
Do the 1900's come supplied with wet one's?
Only one AFM on my shelf bud.

Nosey and Bombay

Kia Ora to you both... Regards to your whanu and taumarikis.

Ka kite.

G'day Nosey, apologies if I seem impolite, I think by the same token if you realised who I am you'd be the first to admit how far off your hasty assessment of my personality is since we've met & know each other quite well.

Alas, I feel you've missed my point as has Split Flap - that being: Hypocrisy
Surely talking Eagle/B1900 down is no better than talking them up?
We've heard plenty here (on this, an interview thead) about
Eagle pilots are all spankers
,
little twin
,
as for their radio calls at unattended aerodromes
????( help me out there if you will)
no A/P,archaic F/D, crap GPS and a very GA approach to instrument layout
and then some more about A/C that out-perform the beech from people who have probably never flown for EAG or the B1900, along with constant reference to cups of coffee and higher salaries???
Is this not a familiar superiority complex?

A turboprop is a turboprop is a turboprop, perhaps this could be the thought for the day.
Another could be: if it has wings and engines it's a plane - nothing more. Damn!!!I should have taken philosophy at Uni.

Go outside, Enjoy the sun, run around, play with the kids and stop worrying about what people said at the coffee shop and stop breathing aviation!!

Yours sincerely Spank & Go the 61st(to make a majority)spanker in Eagle (or am I?? )

Spank - It's true these eagle aerosexual posts do seem to follow the same vain, #Their interviewing # They suck # Now lets all hold hands #.
Maybe there could be some truth in some of these posts?? I know we could alway's ask the great one; old W S mind you he's prob busy trying to crack 20 ton in the circuit but the fact remains if you have a job with eagle air........... It's Stink For You!

Luke- Cool bro you flyen a J31 in the UK..............and you used to fly in NZ............... and now you get payed heaps ........and the WX is really bad there...............and we alll should chill........and you fly a J31.......and that's in the UK.............and you used to be flyen twins in NZ............and you now fly a J31 oversea's ........

Fair call Don. It's just pprune is about my only way of staying in touch / having some banter with the boys from the good old days I guess. It just happens that Eagle threads is about the only place where I know everyone who's posting. You can put me on your ignore list if I bore you so friggin much.

Anyway I better shut up now and let all the cool people like you, get on with the business of saying original things on PPRuNe that haven't been said 100000000 times before.

True

Thump mate, thats the problem with anonymous threads, you just don't know who you might be flaming

If you note, I have not put down Eagle motors, cause if you know me, then you know that I have a fair number of good mates of past and present Eagle pilots. I think a pm from you "outing" yourself would be interesting, in all confidentiality of course!

Luke, I think I know you mate, 185 sideways at Raglan.....am I close?

Sorry Nosey I would love to have a chat with you, but then I would probably get Don having another go at me for talking to my mates on PPRuNe threads, instead of only talking about cool Eagle pilot stuff ... so I'll send you a PM instead
