I don't always agree with Buzzy but he's pretty close to the mark on this one. If that offends 'students' who list their current aircraft type as C152 and C172 and have an email address that lists their email as flyer boi 69 then you really need to consider whether or not you're adequately prepared for the vagaries that this industry will deal out!

Given that you're so easily offended MCKES, perhaps this advice would be more suited:

It was actually one of the first bits of advice I was ever given in professional aviation. I wish I could still practise it more often then I currently do. :eek:

Keg, I wasn't offended. I was just saying that useless comments like this aren't helping anyone and that the comment in its self was a smart arse comment. Unless you know who I am I wouldn't comment on what I have as my information on a public forum.:ok:

An Airline that you have alot of knowledge of [ TT ] are watching your every post-- suggest you learn to crawl first before you walk--The people you have a go at may be the ones employing--- The aviation industry is very small

An old saying--" DONT Remove the rungs as you climb the ladder of life"

Casper. I am not trying to have a go at anyone here. I was just trying to help someone new to flying get the best information possible and the people on this forum have the information to provide. I just cant see sense in not wanting to help someone. That is my opinion and I do not want to be smart about it. There were alot of people when I started who were generous enough to help me out and I believe in returning the favour. Why not?:ok: Sorry If I have offended anyone in the process.:)

MCKES,
sorry if I offended you. Not my intention.

On day one, as one of a group of "invincible late teen" first year Engine / Airframe apprentices; one of the first bits of advice given to us was.

"learn when to speak-up and learn when to shut-up"

A non-technical skill mentioned to me on day one that I've found valuable and have since mentioned to many others as well.

Keg, with his experience and wisdom was also given the same advice early on, didn't seem to do him any harm either. (Wish I could practice it more as well at times too Keg)

Maybe it's a generational thing, a generation of "success deferred" results and "no fail" culture. Maybe it's time to listen to Chopper and

"Harden the f%&k up!"
