Blowing in the wind

explain why the flag that originally (1st trip) was placed on the moon and filmed waves, as if it was a windy day.
Well as a very smart and informative friend said, the flag waves as if on a windy day in an environment that doesn't have any wind..... Is that when the astronauts let go of the flag after placing it, naturally the flag will move and because there is no air to provide resistance to stopping it. It just waves on and on as if on a windy day..... makes sense.
And sponge bob geez you need some remedial sessions on your people skills, c'mon mate some kindness and encouragment wouldn't go astray these days.

flying saucer, bloody go for it mate give it the best shot you got! i would if i had the experience you have on CRJ 200s. Good Luck!

three responses in the time it took me to drop my pants and take a shat. Waving flag due to lack of resistance....why didn't I think of that one. Or mawybe i sarw thee flagg stiffer than me jockstrap wif some mornin whould. Spongebob squarepants tells it like i see it, you order crappy patties, you get crappy patties. it appears that i may have made some new american friends (or foes). I think we should all take a moment and thank the americans for being born, removing nazis, liberating concentration camps, dropping nuclear bombs on japan, curing formidable diseases, and inventing bread. Wow, now that is a list of achievements. Let's not forget that Amerika recruits its top engineers, scientists, doctors, etc from every country around the world....yes thats right doctors from india, engineers from germany, scientists from the soviet union. Your country brings in talent and outsources even more....capitalism at its best....only look where you're headed you walmart shopper. Low prices and even lower wages. I do feel the patriotism at work....maybe you feel effects of the patriot act when your country spies on its own people, or locks up "american" japanese citizens during WWII, or brings war to Iraq on false pretenses, or sells small arms to third world countries, or neglects Rwanda, or elects Bin Laden business partners for presidents, or invents the nuclear bomb....to eventually use it and now forever wonder why some other country would want to, or or or. the list can go on and on and on....and quite frankly there is no hope of changing it for you cannot see beyond your borders. Life isn't encompassed within the US of A......as much as the rest of the world would like to politically shut you up. Sometimes no action reveals itself as an important action......especially speaking of the USA and the their ever growing need to show the world how important they really are. Unfortunately.....not for too much longer......or should I say Fortunately. Maybe you could claim that you invented pizza, the wheel, and fire too!

Hey Spongebob,

With your way of thinking you could run for office here in the U.S. as a Democrat. It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between enemies of the U.S. and Democrats here. They all sound the same.
Good luck to you!

If one hasn't figured it out, Americans are not welcome at Cathay. In general, Americans are completely void of piloting skills, technical knowledge, and any sort of charisma. They tend to speak too loudly and stupidly, and let's not forget: they smell. Their republic has trampled all over this earth causing nothing but pain and suffering. If America would take a few more lessons from Canada, especially Quebec, our world would be a much more grand and happy place. Stay away from Cathay, your ignorant selfish ways are not welcome here.

entry requirements

great entertainment...
But could somebody tell me if it would be sufficient to have a couple of hundred hours on the A330 (200+) at time of application to get in as a DEFO ? Freighter or pax ? total jet time only 1500 Hrs.
Cheers,
Rogi

I have never seen so many generalizations and stereotypes in all my life. I am an American. I have tremendous pride in my country. I don't like the way our country is headed. I don't like our foreign policy. I have traveled a few places around the world, and have enjoyed myself immensely in each and every one of them. I respect everyone elses culture and treat everyone i meet equally. If you want to get a view of the American people, and their beliefs, just look at our presidents' current ratings. The fact that you would make comments about our country based on our current political leadership makes you just as prejudicial and hypocritical as the "Americans" you criticize. I have my second interview in May, and I hope more than anything I am able to join Cathay, as it is the place I have wanted to work since I began flying. I know there are many great crewmembers there, and I look forward to meeting all of them, but if Spongebob is really one of yours, you guys should find some way to put a muzzle on him. Cheers mates!!!!

This is fun and all...here's a question related to the thread title if it's ok!
Quote:
A minimum of 1000 hours in one of the following categories:
Airline Jet Transport
Command Turbo Prop (MAUW greater than 20,000 Kgs)
High Performance Military Jet
Corporate Jet Command
I do not have 1000 hours in any one of these categories, however I have >1000 hours in two of them combined (Airline Jet Transport & Corporate Jet Command). Anyone know if this would be acceptable? (>5000 TT)
Also, if I have had an app in previously for SO on the pax side, do I reapply separately for DEFO on freighter or use my existing PRN?
Thanks for the replies, and yes I have used the search function...other threads seem to be somewhat hazy on these two questions.

I would update the existing app you have on file. I know of two people who had SO apps on file and were called for FO interviews. I think if they like your time they will let you know. Main thing would be to keep it up to date.

Flying saucer, apply now. They will keep everything on file. You may get an interview. If they want more time, then keep it updated. You never know when minimums will change either.


Spongey can't be a Canadian. Far too rude.
(I am also wondering why he is named after an American cartoon character.)

Shouldn't be too hard to avoid him at CX, he wouldn't want to go there after he reads that the airline was started by an Australian and an American.

In fact why is he online? Doesn't he know that the internet was originally the DARPA net. Created by the US military.

A nice single pilot C 206 job flying fish off beaches for him maybe? Oops, wait the C 206 is like a Boeing 747, made in America. Better find him an old Beaver.
At least he can't offend the fish, they will already be dead.
