Hey Tailie, you would have to include "How do I write a Resume" on that hate list wouldn't you......
March 4, 2010 will be your 10th anniversary. I believe the tradition is that you buy a slab for the Mods!
To correct something I posted earlier - Danny's actual comment was:
Australia/New Zealand is the 3rd busiest area for visits to PPRuNe (1st is UK and 2nd is USA). Recently we've been getting approx 218,000 visitors from Dunnunda a month.

nope, its not pilots
Nope. its not pilots. f'rinstance, I'm not a flight professional. I just lucked into this list from external references and I read it daily because its entertaining. I do 6-8 J class trips internationally a year, and I appreciate what is being thought behind the curtains and up the pointy end.
(I have no intention of ever posting again btw. As far as I'm concerned, getting to read you lot is sufficient privilege. It never ceases to amaze me people *stay* in the industry, the stress must be awful.)

Tailwheels' Point 3-"I have a CPL - where do I find a job?" Do a forum search and get off your @ss and go look!!!
Amen
Also, re above, there's too much unrelated dribble and inane waste here. Go onto other more appropriate, "unprofessional" forums to waste your aimless time and banter please and save this for those in the industry with more to offer than waffle.

Chocks Away commented on an current Aviation topic in NZ, which certainly wasn't "waffle" but cutting comment that tells it like it is, as far as I can see (well that's how I read it
)
Abit of bad luck then, if you don't like what or how it's said, billyt.

tail wheel, thanks for clarifying that.
As for Chocks Away, why do I (or anybody, for that matter) have to justify my presence and very infrequent postings on this forum. If you work it out, it is less than 2 posts per month over the 8 & 1/2 years I've been here.
Maybe I should hand back my PPRuNe badge (yes, I really do have one!) and hang up my keyboard...

No, this username is nowhere near my first either, the originals (ToppaDescent, BufordT etc) got lost along the way, which might be a good thing...

How about ditch the Mods and a carton...... Just your shout at the Brekky Ck next time you are in town, last time was a good night out. And make it soon while Chuckles is here....coz he will want to be in on the action!

Horatio, you know exactly what is what here (we don't share log ins) and you would be well aware Pprune is/was one way that many couples kept in touch when they were split-up by this industry, and again as we are now. The uses of Pprune run a lot deeper than many might think.
Thanks Taily, the member list doesn't appear to us mere mortals these days!

And yet for all of the bitching and complaining, none of us cannot but heap phrase on the excellent forums such as the DC9 and the B727, the great forum on the return of the B707, so admidst all the sh^t there is also some great stuff posted, from Keg, Chimbo Chuckles, Wiley just to name a few. As in every community there is disention, personalities, why should Pprune be any different. Yes we are supposed to have half a brain, but then so should politicans, they actually run the joint, and after last week what more can I say. People will come and go, vent their spleens on the rest of us, some will agree, some will not. Aviation is a progressive business and changing rapidly, I belong to the past, but the past is what made it what it is today, and one day you blokes will be like me, glad and grateful for the job you had and enjoyed and tut tut over where it is all heading. So be grateful you are pilots (and engineers) be glad you are doing something you love and keeps a roof over your head, and safe flying.

Zen Teachings.. A few of my favourites..
1. Always remember you are unique. Just like everyone else.
2. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
3. Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
4. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windscreen.
5. Good judgement comes from bad experience.... and most of that comes from bad judgement.
6. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

And going on professionalism, who are the clowns who emailed such abuse, to a female journo in the Sunday Telegraph (page 28) who the week before, made a fairly harmless statement of why do pilots wear uniforms. (I would think it would be fairly obvious why) but to somebody not in the airlines perhaps it is a bit of a mystery. The article in the paper the week before was fairly tongue in cheek, but here we have pilots? giving names to accompany their abuse, to the said journo. I can only hope it was a bunch a young blokes in GA who have yet to learn discipline, I cannot even imagine current blokes even writing such crap, let alone identifying themselves.
