Whatever
 

The guy only asked a question, and Alex Whittingham was only trying to help (as always).
Get over it, move on, there's a life out there. Let the bloody CAA look for their meaningless paperwork. I think my ATPL results sheet is stuffed somewhere at the bottom of my flight bag, but I don't care if it is or it isn't.
Why do people get caught up in daft threads like this, and come out with things that if were said in person, would merit a swift slap.
Hang on, why am I caught up in it? I think I may be turning into one of those goits who put comments on the bottom of youtube videos, and end up hanging themselves because someone in North Scumswamp, Oadaidaho said they were gay.
Off to stroke a kitten now.

Dear EK4457

Well, the thread has served its purpose so no harm in a little drift. Sorry about the comment on your age. Youth is not a problem. Old age could very well be. I remember when I was your age and my dad was in his mid forties. ‘Son’, he said, ‘I can’t teach you anything more now’. And I agreed wholeheartedly. He knew nothing useful and I knew about all there was to know. I had it all figured out.

My father had all kinds of different considerations to apply to various situations. I just wanted to get on with it. Now, sadly enough, I tend to be applying the ‘big picture’ and that of course often gets in the way of the progress that young people have the right to expect.

And as for the rudeness. Well, you where not really rude. Just pointing out the facts in a non roundabout way. Most young people are very polite. Ask any old guy (in the corner). ‘Oh, they are so nice and civil the youngsters’, he would say. ‘But very blunt and to the point. Refreshing most of the time’.

Now that I know you better, I will look to you for advice on matters where an old fart like me could benefit from a clear and fresh perspective on things. And please do not hesitate to point it out yourself, if you see it coming.

Best regards

Viking,

I'm glad you took my post with the pinch of salt it deserved. Nothing wrong with a little banter. For what it's worth, I do get the moral of your father/son story.

Regardless of weather you get a certificate or not, I wish you all the best with your CPL/IR and many safe landings.

Alex,

As usual you are simply interested only in selling your ATPL "database" question bank. Any posts on this site can only re-enforce your sales.

Your "database" is full of out-of-date/erroneous questions and I feel that you are a con-artist in making the gullible pay extortionate prices for garbage. Many of your "questions" and "answers" are simply beyond belief. I can say this with absolute "AUTHORITY". Congratulations on the success of your school.

Absolute authority eh? So, now we know who the question setter is :}

At least Alex doesn't (nor Keith) hide behind his username.

Cheers

Most (if not all) TRTO's will want to see, and photocopy, some sort of proof that you have passed all your ATPL theory exams. In my case this was the CAA statement of results that you get after each exam.
