A whinge...

Dear fellow aviator,

Thank you for putting super glue in the lock on my Triumphs fuel tank. I really do appreciate you saving me money by not allowing me to fuel.

Why do I post here? Because the bike lives in my hangar next to the crew lockers... Disgruntled ex employee maybe??? Bad practicle joke maybe???

Whoever or whatever just wanted to publically announce how pathetic I think you are.

HA

Talking

HA, think of it this way mate. You can always remove the clue from your machines fuel cap, but the low-life who did this will get his/hers. What goes around, comes around.

All the best, and don't let it get to you..................H.

Question Hmmmmm?

I remember back a few years ago where somebody poured brake fluid allover one individual's near-new Brock Commodore. The same individual (assumedly) filled all the locks of another individuals late model Ford Laser with Superglue.

The first I heard of it was when the Eastwood Detectives phoned me at home and asked me if I had any idea of who may have done it. I could hardly restrain the laughter when I heard that one .....My reply was "About 50 individuals".

The "victims" were the directors of a large flying school that ripped off their customers, some to the tune in excess of $30000.

I give the perpetrator 10/10 for originality in this case.

High Alt, sorry to hear it happened to you. Perhaps an irate customer?

Angry

A bloodey low act HA! I know that there's a few folks on here with whom you're not especially popular, but they all seem too "up front" for such a cowardly deed. Whoever did this is certainly not your friend, but is also quite juvenile in his/her thinking.

This sort of low act just disgusts me!

never mind mate, my only console to you is that they probably did'nt have the brains to think of it themselves and have had it done to them before.

Why is it that seemingly professional people behave like such c0cks?

HA, for what it's worth, I don't think that status, age or apparent social normality will ever have an effect on such an oxygen deprived sack of lard. They are forever destined to a life of mediocrity.

What goes around comes around?? I think this snapperhead has already been blessed with a brain the size of a peanut. Take solace in the fact they are braindead baboons who will end up married to an alcoholic fat chick with 12 ugly kids in a lower class Western suburb dump!

Such cowards make me really mad.

Have to agree with you 18-wheeler. The imbecile that perpetrated this most frustrating of crimes (and lets not forget, what has happened here IS a crime) will not be able to hold their tongue and sooner or later brag to somebody and tell of their juvenile actions. Bide your time HA, the story will come out soon. Always does. And when it does sack the @rsehole. Then stick near the phone for future employers of this dropkick checking his employment history. THEN you'll have the last laugh....... Or better still. Don't hunt him. Let him know that you know it was he that did it to the trumpy. Watch the champion squirm then.

careful please W

All the best with your investigations

Thanks for the sentiments guys helps to confrim my thoughts.

Hugh - "High Alt, sorry to hear it happened to you. Perhaps an irate customer?"

we wouldn't know what an irate customer was, with the service offered every client walks away happy indeed... (I couldn't resist).

You will all be pleased to know that my baby is in the workshop awaiting a new lock... ahhh yep what goes around comes around... As for not being able to keep the trap shut I must agree it will come out in time...

Oi what kinda trumpet ya got?

Just a bit more satisfaction for the pr*ck who did this.

My lock is still screwed, cannot disolve it, cannot remove the whole cap mechanism if the lock is locked. Do not really want to drill it out... so you have achieved maximum impact, well done pea brain... Am I pissed? Little bit but not that bad as its a bit hot on the bike anyways at the moment...

I have a fairly good feeling who you are now and the other stunt you have pulled is comin to my eyes.....

As has been said, what goes around comes around.....

HA.

p.s. May I suggest a trip to Washington, I strongly advise you hang out in servo car parks... At least that way your time will come sooner.

H.A. If there's no plastic in close proximity try working some Acetone into the lock. It'll dissolve just about anything (including plastic).

Just don't do it in a closed area, or you'll take a "trip" straight back to the 60's.......

What comes around goes around. My true sentiments, but has anyone stopped to think that maybe it has just gone around?
Revenge is a long time coming but sweet.

For all yoy Ppruners out there HA is an egotisicle twit who uSes and abuses, overworks and underpays his sTaff because he knows how hard it is for thEm to find work elsewhere.

Any guesses who I am? You are probably so far oFf the mArk it not fuNny.
I'll give you a hint.

" I've alWays wanted to sleep with a female pilOt."

That' s right I'm that pilOt who was trying to look for my first GA job and you took aDvantage of me when I was drunk and just as quickly discarded me when your staff disagreed with your actions.

Thanks to you I have recently left aviation my life goal and am now pursueing aNother career. All becAuse of people like you.

I feel sorry for people like you who go around trying to find aCceptance in people but never will. just as you were looking for the sympathy vote here. No one really like you at Darwin airport. Not even your staff. They just pretend cause you are paying them to like you. How SAD

You are probably wondering, how did she do that, she left ages ago. It's called magic.

We'll I've said my peace and for all the people not living in Darwin, this is the true HA. Beware other pilots looking for jobs in Darwin. There are parasites up there.


This time you are the statue and have just been shat on.

Goodbye

Well said Goes Around, many people have been screwed by HA. You can't expect to abuse people over and over again without it eventually catching up with you. Sit back and ponder things for a while HA.

Thumbs up

I agree also, well said goes around! Sorry to lose you from aviation but hope all goes well in you new career.

To all the crew still at Nackers, did you ever get that pay rise you were after? The award would be nice to go with all the other proffesional aspects of the company, like say, the shiny aircraft and the HA's transportation tastes.

Now I should be careful and not respond to this however what the puk...

As we all know there are 2 sides to every story I am not going to go into anything as you will believe what you want to believe.

I will not disagree to the fact that ALOT of people dislike me... Well frankly I don't giva...

I have started the careers of many a pilot and feel very proud to that fact, I am also proud of the fact that we still employ 200 hour pilots, how many other operators do??? Yes they work hard, they work damn hard and the get the rewards from working hard. As I said no point going into detail as those who know the truth well, know it. NAC has had a meteoric rise, no it has not always been good, and yes I do think the fleet is looking very good at the moment. Don't try and dig me about my modes of transport I drive a Ford and bought myself a toy in the bike which has been pucked with. Now quiet simply I have worked bl**dy hard to get where I am and if you don't like it, join the band wagon and hang sh*t on me, water of a ducks back to me, I don't give anything that I cannot take. As for ex employees well the ones that were pointed in the direction either got the system at the wrong time or simply did not want to be here, again there are many stories behind eveything but ya may as well believe whats here as it is factual isn't it?

Well gotta go, just thought I'd pop in and havea look, not really surprised but I will say those who can sort through the preverbial will end up believing what they want to...

Must go and relax now, 2 days at Seven Spirit Bay fishing have really taken it outa me...

Back to the original post anyways, to destroy ones property is a criminal matter, it is in very bad taste and well its already been said.

HA, stop for a second and have a think why you cause people so much angst. I'll quote from a psychology book. Hypercompetitiveness is an indiscriminate need to compete and win and to avoid losing at any cost as a means of maintaining or enhancing one's feeling of self-worth. It also includes feeling and thoughts of manipulation, aggressiveness, exploitation, and derogation of others across a myriad of situations. End quote. You need to sit down for a while and have a think about it.

Crikeys now I'm being psycho analised...

Not a bad quote though, would certainly sum me up to a degree...
however I would call it more passion than anything. Do you know how much satisfaction there is in employing a 200 hour pilot, watching a career grow through the company and then onto greener pastures? It is very satisfying. It is also frustrating to watch those who don't make it, those that stagnate in their career no matter what you do to try and help, how frustrating do you think it is when you want to give a low hour pilot a job and frankly they would be lucky to know which end of a plane the prop goes on? and then they get in a plane and you wonder who taught this pilot???. I look forward to the lads making the venture Nth for the 7th... Oh no thats right they don't like me they are only coming for the party...

GA is a VERY competitive field Darwin being no exception. There were those whom scorned me when I started, however its right in their face. I certainly don't agree with the full quote and I am certainly not trying to validate what I do, just trying to make the point that I love what I do with a passion.

Doesn't it feel great to love your job, to enjoy what you do!

For the obvious very few who do not dislike me NAC turns 7 in November, the usual party to follow, if you would like to drop in for a beer or two drop me an email...

NOW again back to the topic, I have to get a whole new cap system for the Trumpy... @$350... anyone know where to get any cheap after market or 2nd hand Trumpy parts (TT600)?

Now on another problem if you wish to keep giving me free physco sessions... I am afraid of the dark...
