Darwin Pilots! who wants a free bottle!

Gday guys I need someone to help me out with a PCA chart.
I only need to borrow it to sit my atpl met exam in darwin on the 3rd sep then i will give it back the same morning so if your going to be around the airport on the night of the 2nd or in the morning before about 8am on the 3rd I can pick it up.
And what is this about a free bottle? I hear you ask
For your kindness I am willing to donate a bottle of the good stuff I will get on my way through duty free tomorrow. Just tell me what you want. if you can help me out send me a pm with your number.

Cheers

Also willing to buy the chart off you if you have a spare one or even an out of date one.
Surely someone has one they can spare for a few hours

My suggestion is to pop into one of the Operators, maybe ChartAir or AirFrontier and just ask politely if someone has one you can borrow

Unhappy What the hell?

This thread must take the cake for the laziest wannabe in Australia.

My suggestion is to take responsibility for your future. If you're too lazy or too tight to keep your publications up to date - especially leading up to an exam, you don't deserve any help mate. A couple of days out from a test and you're not prepared?

No wonder you've had few responses on here

Remember the 6 P's? Piss poor preparation equals piss poor performance.
Or prior planning prevents piss-poor performance...

You beat me to it, grrowler He'll be back soon whingeing about how bad he was done by in the test.

Geeez guys, aren't you making a few assumptions here? Obviously Ozzypilot isn't too worried about the price, possibly he is coming from somewhere that he can't get access to supplies, pretty sure there aren't any places to buy stuff from in Darwin now that AV8 is gone. What if hes been out at a remote station or some such for a while?

You don't even know which exam he is doing or why he is doing it. I know of plenty of Pilots who have borrowed supplies before an exam for one reason or another, some were poor reasons others were perfectly good reasons, have done it myself before as well. I was working for a company who had all that sort of stuff in the office so some of my own publications were out of date so I borrowed a few when I needed them.

So why not give him benefit of the doubt and try to help out instead of being jerks?

BTW, 6 P's as I was taught them were "Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance"

Whatever happened to commonsense, ixixly? Pilots have been doing exams all over the country for decades, and have managed to keep their docs up to date in the lead up.

Even when the only source was the publication centre via snail mail, and not retailers. Or internet chat rooms

Sorry mate, but on face value this smacks of pure laziness and lack of commitment

Any prospective employer will pick that trait in less than 2 minutes.

Read the opening post? He/she is coming from overseas hence the duty free comment. Chances are a PCA couldn't be accessed O/S.

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.

Yup, Mr Buzzy for the choccy frog - spot on.

If I was in Darwin I would have helped the bloke out

What the hell is wrong with some of you blokes? What a pack of miserable, judgemental, know-it-all pricks ...
