Planky you'd better get yourself a new username, you're busted!

I don't have to worry, everyone knows me that I want to know me.

Hmm, judging from the PM's I'm getting there are a fair few people here who know who you are, and you probably wouldn't like what they have to say.

Don't really mind if people can find out who I am, in this day and age it's rather hard to conceal one's identity anyway if you're active in business and society, and I stand by what I write and do here and elsewhere.. keep it coming, boys, beats the entertainment value of telly any night and sometimes we even learn a thing or two

Well then de-identify them and forward them on, more than happy to receive them! Please feel free, I would welcome them...

Anyway, my handle is quite a thin veil of disguise, over 20 people probably know who I am...

I just can't wait for you Stephan to apply for your first aviation job, whats the bet your Arrow is offered in the deal!

I reckon after a few bumps and bruises and 12 or so months of working you will be less gung hoe and a little more humble in your opinions offered on these boards.

Or you'll change your username and continue to recite utter nonsense for those silly enough to listen, and those such as myself, j3 and others who enjoy being reminded of our own short comings when we were at your stage of experience (And those more experienced than us laughing at our replies to you who are reminded of their lack of empathy at our stage in their flying )

Nice work J3, I know a few Private Investigation outfits that would take you on in a heartbeat.

PlankBender...I agree with your "ill-informed bogan racism" claim, but that's a whole new topic.

Typical!

Another D&G thread hijacked!

7engapp (nice handle, btw ) asks what should be a fairly straightforward question, and we have three or four hotheads taking over his thread!

Why? Because they had a disagreement one or two threads ago about a forced landing and cant let go.

J3, TGG and PB, why don't you guys settle this somewhere else?

7engapp, there IS some good advice on this thread (Probably the best comes from Wally and Mcgrath, IMHO).

Just be very careful when taking advice from some of the chest-thumpers here on Prune (an anonymous website). In case you've not seen it, the below message is on the bottom of the prune pages:

As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists*, to elicit certain reactions.

*"sciolist"... Noun, archaic. "a person who pretends to be knowledgeable and well informed".
DIVOSH!

The problem being Di Vosh, that some of those "chest thumpers" also may have vast experience and something to offer.

How is one to know what to accept and what to dismiss?

He should just listen to me.

I totally agree! And therein lies the problem. Caveat Emptor, etc.

He should just listen to me.
ABSOLUTELY!! (listen to Kiwi Chick, that is, not me )

And if they decline your polite request you fight 'em off whith Massey 152s and crew that can't tell the difference between a runway and a taxi way.

GG, when you politely insult our pilots like you just have, please clarify.

Are you referring to the pilots who fly the 152's - who predominantly come from overseas?

Or are you inferring that our RNZAF pilots are incompetent?



Do tell.

I'm taking the micky out of the RNZAF by stating the closest thing they have to a frontline fighter is a Massey 152, I then took it further by implying they are not very good
