Leafman, as the buzzman says, you don't know the circumstances. If I was in Darwin & I had the PCA I would have dropped one around. Quite a few aviators have helped me out when I've been stuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah we can belt on and on and on about airmanship but sometimes **** happens eh
Ranga, mate, I am with the Buzzman all the way

This is almost funny if it wasn't genuine. Can't believe the venomous reactions of some in here.
Christ the guy's obviously keen enuff to stick his head out here for help but gets thumped!
Comradery is dieing amongst once proud aviators.

Pissed Pilot...
Heh, who were it that blasted off without first seeing if the next stop had fuel or not, then started a prune thread lambasting the re-fueler fer not having fuel..

So what's that got to do with this thread Bing-meister? I might add that I've been caught without a chart once (shock-horror, send CASA round to my place). I had the stupidity to think that a re-seller would have probably the most common ERC low in stock. As it was another chap I barely knew lent me his charts
The level of 'service' in this country is beyond a joke. High wages with no incentive to actually provide a service sees to that.
And by the way Bing-meister, I do not step back from the thread I started on that fuel debacle. It is bloody un-professional to advertise fuel, run-out & not NOTAM it, so blow that out ya clacker

"blow that out ya clacker..." - haven't heard that one in ages!!
Nevertheless, can't believe the bunfight a simple request to "all stations" for borrowing a chart has caused... typical though - let's step it up one however, just for those who wonder why, as a profession, we can never have a level of solidarity. Too many willing to jump on a colleague / peer / competitor for the slightest infraction...
My big question, after all this, did the lad pass his exam??

Please accept my apology OzzyPilot.
Sorry that you may have thought this forum was a useful resource for help and information.
Sorry that you felt there was no need to describe in minute detail why you needed a chart.
Sorry that you thought you were working in an industry where your peers are willing to give a hand rather than whack you with a polo mallet from a large horse.
Finally, on behalf of an ever dwindling minority, whose world does not revolve around planes, big watches, chronic masturbation, greasy pole climbing and bad money advice, I'd like to express my sorrow for you having to work with such a pack of miserable c&$ts.

Geez talk about dramatic - some comments that not sourcing a required chart by 2 days before an ATPL exam is poor planning, and suddenly everyones a c$nt, and the mateship of the entire industry is in decline. It's a bit different to scratching around for a chart for some obscure, short notice charter.
Now just to clarify;
If I was in Darwin I would happily lend out my chart.
I would not expect anything in return.
I would have a beer with old mate after his exam.
and I would give him $hit about not organising his chart earlier because it is PI$$ POOR!
If that makes me a c$nt, then so be it.
And Mr B, at what point does it become "chronic"?

Well lilflyboy... I guess some of us are into helping people where/when we can, even if we don't know them, because we've all been stuck occasionally and been helped by people we don't know.
... and others are into tearing into a bloke they don't know, on half the information, just to demonstrate their superiority.

Some parts of the world can't be relied upon for mail delivery. If you wait and it doesn't turn up, and the shop in Australia you call wants $60 postage to send it to you express, offering a bottle suddenly becomes the good (and economical) option. Maybe the guy lives in a tent and some termites ate his PCA, who knows...
I noticed on another thread a CP being lambasted for not having a professional enough email address for receiving job applications!

Concur with Mr Buzzy.
Struth, you blokes! We do not know the circumstances as to why the bloke did not have the chart concerned. There may very well be a valid reason but even if not, he really doesn't deserve the venom hurled at him by some.
Most people learn from their mistakes, and I suspect that he will do so.

Mix up a letter or two.
"Cnuts" works just as well as "give the poor fcuker a chance to explain himself for fcuk's sake".

Me got to know
Ok, this is a neutral post, but I am guessing the Mods will be very close to shutting this thread down, but I gotta know 2 things:
1) Young man, did you pass? And,
2) What brand of booze did you end up getting for the Good Samaritan? (If one came to the rescue)
Just curious, always like to see a happy ending.
Oh, and maybe question 3) Did the Good Samaritan that you gave the bottle of piss too end up sharing it with you???
