Bit of Wisdom
 

Seems like Pilots go through 5 stages:

1. Pilot Dreamer
No idea what is involved, differcult to find bum with both hands !

2. Wanabee Pilot
Start doing some reseach, enter forum like Pprune, seems like Virgin playing with Navies pricks.

3. Trainee Pilot
Stubbling along, lots of cock ups, knows a bit more than 2

4. Real Pilot
Super Star, Skygod, Ruler of the Universe

5. Retired Pilot
Misquote from ex Concorde pilot ' Actual realise we know f**k all but are pretty good at faking it'

Have a good weekend :)

Berksfly, Sam... I said Cs (was meant to put "Cs and above")

I can't accually believe how sad your life must be, to sit and remember past comments. Do whats best and go out and enjoy life. Really don't care if I get kicked out of this forum place but you guys need to get a life and leave people alone. Basically P:mad:S off!

JP, give it a rest mate, why do people think there superior in a place like this. All talk over a computer screen, like to see you faggots face the real world from a computer screen.

My advice from me is...

YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE, GET OVER YOURSELFS, TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED & STOP SLAGGING OFF OTHERS WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN LIFE RATHER THAN BE COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY COMPUTER BOUNDED!!

Next time you go out, don't forget the computer.. may need to slag the next person off :ok:

Well Chris you've made yourself known round here very fast:ok:

The only sponsorships that are open are Atlantic Airlines and Highlands Airways. However you need a PPL and a class one medical. They will pay for all your training and a 3 year bond with them after you finish.

I'm currently 18 years old, just finished college and have university soon. I'm currently looking into doing my PPL and working at a full time job in order to save enough money. The main thing you need is MONEY, without that no one would even look at you for flight training.
I was like you but I didn't post on the forum too many times but I did create a whole thread about 'university or not', just do research, research, research and more research.

You keep saying we don't know you.

Well, you don't know anyone else either, so how can you claim that:

1. You are more likely to succeed than others
2. Others spend all their lives on computers

The lack of rational thought really is unbelievable.

Chris, first of all critism makes people stronger. I take pictures and i've learned alot through listening. You don't seem to want to listen whether good or bad.

Also, what is you're obsession with people being on PPruNe 24/7 - Surely you must be online 24/7 to notice people being online so much? Just give yourself a break and either accept the critism or just let this thread die...

Like others have said, if you're not willing to listen you won't get anywhere, not just in Aviation but life aswell. Anyway, we'll leave you to complete the internet considering you take it so seriously.

:\

Yes Chris, that's the umpteenth time you've stated that we clearly have no lives and have nothing better to do than simply sit here 'slagging' other people off :ok: After all, we will almost certainly fail in life and never be as successful as yourself :(

If you'd have properly read that link I posted earlier in the thread, you'd have had your question answered all ready, I'm not sure what else you want from us?

Sam

Berkflyer, bless you, all of a sudden your defending yourself now.. maybe its because im right. Just a sad sad life you lead.

Sam-man, I have not asked anything else of you. I clearly read the helpful links, I have all of the links in my favourates and I am currently looking into them. Unless your standing outside my window, you have no idea what ive looked at.

Well im just glad I don't know you personally (Berksflyer and Sam), because if your this patronising all I can say is "Good Luck to your friends" :confused:

Well you clearly do SLAG off others, as what have you done to me! DOH :ugh:

Im bored of you now

If you're gonna call us Nobs, Pricks and now Faggots when we try to help you, I hope your FI does throw you out the plane.

If I were you - time for a new screen name.

JB

-says other have no life but still has the most posts up on this thread

-says dont judge him as we dont know him but still thinks without a single hour in his log book he is better than some of you with 1000's of jet hours

-DEMANDS respect after calling people nobs, prick, faggots etc

- bull!!!!s about his grades (and i reckon age as well)

you want a bit of advice? look for another job as ur not goin to get into this industry when you behave like a plastic gansta.

save your dad the money and yourself the time. honestly, if this was a pub you would not last 2 seconds.... but as you say this is an internet forum so u talk like a big boy as you know you can get away with it.

Hmmm, I smell a troll!

what do you mean by troll ?

Someone being deliberately controversial for the sake of it, I'm sure the mods have cross-checked his IP with other usernames. I guess nothing came up, which is, sadly, why he is still here.

Wow this is real funny. Should be in the jetblast section.

Chrissy is having a rest for a while - a week to be precise!

Chris, your attitude won't get you too far.
First of all, you've got to accept what people are saying to you. There's no one on this forum that knows completely everything about aviation. We're all trying to help each other out with what we know. Secondly, you're not always right. No one is. Everyone makes mistakes and you have to admit to them instead 'going mad'.

As I've said, first of all, before you even register with a flying school, I'll say change your attitude because an Instructor wouldn't tolerate it and you aviation career won't get too far. :ugh:


EDIT!

& this..

YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE, GET OVER YOURSELFS, TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED & STOP SLAGGING OFF OTHERS WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO SUCCEED IN LIFE RATHER THAN BE COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY COMPUTER BOUNDED!!

People are only giving you advice and to be honest I really don't understand your behaviour. If you don't like it here, you don't have to stay. I think you know what I mean :ok:

Good Call Halfwayback :ok:

There's only so much you can do for people:ugh:. 'Immature' is an overused term normally, however we can safely say in this case it is more than appropriate. We have all tried to reason yet he will not listen. What else can we do? What else can be said? He is now only here to desperately defend himself from his 'aggressors', there is nothing to be gained from the thread.

1 vote to ban.
1 vote to close.

(Yes under the illusion this is a democratic process:ok:)

Somehow I doubt it lad. Unless spelling and grammar are no longer part of the syllabus and before your next predictable riposte yes, most people consider them to be a requirement in our profession and on this our professional website.

Oh, and my tip for the day is to stop telling lies.

Chris, if you can access this, buy Clive Hughes "Guide to getting a Commercial Pilot License".

All your questions and more will be answered in there. Also cross reference with LASORS on the CAA's website.

From what I see here, there's help given to Chris, but because of his attitude, people are starting to argue here. I think it would be good idea to close this thread as it doesn't help very much :ok:

Chrissy, i dont see how you can call me stuck up, when your so far up your own a**e, that you cant take a tiny bit of critism from your peers.

:D

Chris!

No one is here a damn stuck up. For God's sake! Grow up! I'm sixteen and I'm more mature than you! ( i think, correct me if Im wrong ). We're all trying to help you, you're not always right you know? As I've already said in one of my posts in this thread. Change your attitude. Grow up, and maybe then come back to the forum.

If you sign on to a school, and an instructor will tell you things you do wrong/right you can't argue with him, like you do right now with loads of people. Before you write something stupid again, think twice! :ugh:

I think reading books, articles and features that have and will be suggested is a good idea. However, the many that I have read normally use sound experience of life, maturity and education as a given, therefore, they'll often offer advice as to the practical side of commercial flying rather than the personal qualities needed as prerequisites to applying to an airline. I haven't read the book Redsnail has referred you to, so could be wrong here.

Best advice I could think of for you (bearing in mind I'm no qualified than the next person) is that you start with the basics. Forget the licenses, hours, exams and airline jobs for a moment and focus the next few years on getting your personal qualities up to scratch. That is, engage in some teambuilding via work or extra-curricular activities, go to university if you can afford it, or make sure you do plenty of work around people. Voluntary work is often a good route for this - you have the opportunity to work with lots of groups of people in a hands-on and practical environment; similar to the type of work that airline piloting is based around. Also focus on your current studies so you have a good basic education.

You are right. Nobody knows you on these boards, but we do know the behaviour you have displayed....along the lines of aggressive, defensive and mostly immature.

As soon as you become a well-rounded person with a good attitude towards life and a sound education, you can only succeed.

If you don't embark on the basic stepping stones, any experienced Human Resources officer / ex airline Captain will very quickly pick up on something not being right. You might get lucky and be good at hiding certain traits, but they'll certainly have a doubt about you and be assured that if there is a doubt, you don't get the job.

Low houred pilots fighting for commercial jobs is competitive, very competitive. Why do yourself a disservice and put yourself out of the running at the beginning?

Good luck with it all :ok:

Chris......

I was once a 17 year old in the middle of A-Levels, desperate to become a Pilot but with seemingly little or no chance of finding the money I too looked at ATC quite seriously. So believe me, I know how frustrating and mind boggling it can all be. In the end, after 4 years of working to make sure I have a back up career I was lucky enough to secure the money. I've just got my PPL and start ATPL's in a couple of weeks time so in no way consider myself to be experienced but I have been in this long enough to realise that this is a very small industry and the guys/girls you talk to on here come from a host of backgrounds pooling together a wealth of information and advice. My career started based on the advice and info I gathered on this forum. So..... with that in mind I would suggest you make use of the people on here rather than going off on one and calling people Pricks and Nobs. In short... ditch the attitude because it won't get you anywhere on here or in aviation at all.

Chris :hmm:

As I said, Chris is having a week's 'holiday' so cannot see or respond to the comments.

Therefore I am locking the thread and no doubt when he returns he can read some of the commonsense advice that has been offered.

I think it is fair to all parties to leave it there!
