Oh FFS :ugh:



Brought it on yourself with........


Try winding your neck in, not acting like a spoiled brat and.........what am I saying? You're a troll :E



reddo. As you are well aware madame our types have more quality. His might be bigger but it's orange, probably infected ;)

Really nice to see pprune shining at its best;

Schoolkid enters the forum and asks some questions and gets bullied, teased and insulted for his efforts. What some would call being a "naive pillock", others would call youthful optimism. Its also nice to know that you all were all really worldly and mature at 16.

Nice one boys

Assholes!
 

Lacarno1,

before you listen to the majority of the assholes and bull**** on this forrum, I will send you a PM with a link to Oxfords website about this forrum. I was almost put off flying by some of the nobs on here, but I'm starting my training in October @ BCFT. Also, they think they know every thing, and foook me I would like to have a look into there chrystal ball, but they don't. Just to proove a point, do they know that one of the worlds leading banks have just approved
"aviation loans" for students? and that a majour airline are building there own flight school? Don't think so!

Good luck pal! Go for it!

P.S sorry if s.p.a.g ain't too good as this was written on a mobile phone!


Cheers

Artie, scott...others.

He's tekkin' the pish. Logs in, first post in the wannabee forum where so many are struggling "I've got £90,000 from mater and pater"........"Are any of you real pilots?"......... claims not to know what a troll is but is internet savvy as any search of his name reveals. Do you need it writ any larger? In colours maybe?

This forum is a great place for those who really need it but there are always one or two who enjoy a wind-up. Tristan is one of the latter. As for those of you chucking rocks at the "assholes" and naysayers ask yourselves this. If you were a genuine wannabee who would you look to for advice? The ones posting who either have yet to start training, are in training or barely finished and without jobs or those with years or decades in the industry who have already witnessed the boom/bust cycle at least once?

I was better when I was 16 too. I knew everything then :rolleyes:

Scott5988

You're (Your) speling (spelling) and grammer (grammar) is atrochous (atrocious). and you're calling us asswholes(can't be bothered)?

Don't be taken in. Atfaz has broken up for the summer holidays and has found a new log-in name.

OAA a very good school
 

I'm going to raise a point I bet most people don't think about - poor quality CPL training.

Ask what happened when they had different CAA examiners from their in house ones come and examine the students? Everyone failed

BIG GRECIAN!!!
NOT TRUE!
Get your facts right first, First time pass in cpl and IR both with non in house CAA examiners! Finished April this year and many are in the same boat as me with first time passes.
SOUR GRAPES ANY ONE??

And your's isn't much better Skyhighbird - at least Scott apologised by explaining he was writing it via mobile phone. :rolleyes:

In the words of Mandy Rice-Davies (look it up), "They would say that, wouldn't they?"

Oxford's own website and forum is hardly likely to give impartial advice, unlike here.

A few of us know each other personally but, on the whole, we are complete strangers who are offering our advice and help for nothing. It's no skin off my nose ultimately what the OP decides to do but I do believe in helping others in avaition if I can.

I don't want Locarno to spend his parents' money with little hope of return and the advice I have given (which he's chosen to ignore but I hope Mummy and Daddy pick up on it) of Uni/UAS/modular is sincere.

If Locarno wants to be treated as a mature 16 year old (and some are), then he needs to behave like one.

Cheers

See, point proven!

Get a life skyhighbird

You two are scaring me.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote that. Please tell me you aren't serious!:ugh:

Tristan,

I saw one of your posts on a simmers website having googled your name:

G-SXTY is a dash-8 pilot I believe. I'm sure he would be very happy to test the finished product for reality, or give you tips on what you could improve.

That was an hysterically funny joke; I think my sides have just split. And how uproarious it is that you have taken the time and trouble to google the boy's real name.

Cheers

Whirls




PS - if you're going to make "tongue in cheek" comments, you might find the use of smilies will aid other's comprehension of your unique humour :p

It was hardly time or trouble.

Anyway, I've pointed him in the direction of G-SXTY so there is at least one benefit of him coming on pprune and my pasting his message from the sim forum.

Not sure G-SXTY will see it the same way though :)

Go back to your original post and redact your name; redact it further from every other forum on which you post. Future employers will Google your name as part of their background checks. All and every comment you have made on the internet is presntly available to them.

I am more than a little worried that manmy other posters think it acceptable to pillory a 16-year old who has asked a few questions. Yes, he might have his head in the clouds at the moment, and yes, many real piltos consider flight simmers to be wasting their lives, but the responses on here are bordering on unacceptable in civilised debate.

Disagreement with an opinion should be asserted by counter-opinions and appropriate facts. Not name-calling.

Yes, he might have to grow up, but he is more likely to turn his back on PPRuNe rather than listen if you continue down that road.

The Q400's a doddle. Just keep one hand on the stick, one on the power levers and another on the rudder trimmer. And say "ALT SEL" every thirty seconds.

All you need to know. :ok:

P.S. For a realistic 'full motion' effect, practice the above while your mates push you round in a shopping trolley.

Hand Count
 

May I ask which part of England you come from? :E

Hand Count. Cont.
 

Well, he's a big lad (if you know what I mean ;)). Very skilled, too...
:}:}:}:}:}

Scott , this guy is a troll pure and simple and or a pilloch , if you cant see that from his ridiculous posts then you are also clearly in the wrong place .
I went to BCFT many moons ago , I may not know everything as you say , but as far as this industry goes , I know a lot more than you , but hey Im just a working commercial pilot , maybe Im wrong maybe you do know more , after six months at BCFT you will understand what those here with relevan experience are talking about .:ugh:

My goal in life is to become a pilot aswell, but i went to university and did aerospace systems engineering. some along the lines that will actuall help you in your ATPL ( helps me alot). u never know when somthing bad mite happen and that your medical is no longer valid and can not be. a degree in this place will help you carry on earning. you will have a much better time at university that at flying school at that age.
the Mod root is the best in current times you can pull out when you want and not loose large amounts of money.

Numbers
 

Right 78 students employed in 2009 so far...

How many students finished in 2009 so far? Come on, someone must know.

Are numbers dropping for the coming months classes?

No agenda here, just want numbers,


Cheers

Don'tcha love it when people post without reading the whole thread? ;) daraireland, post #31. None of the Netjets cadets have jobs, you're falling for Oxford's sales spiel.
