once your fully trained with Ryanair!

You clearly don't fly. Communication is everything. And it is attention to detail that prevents crashes, you are clearly happy with things that are nearly there. It shows an 'even though it's not right - that'll do philosophy'. It shows poor standards. I wonder how it would transfer to checklists - perhaps skipping 'unimportant items' or mis-reading something? And who would want to be stuck in the cockpit with an illiterate yob?

[delwy]

TheBeak if I may say so you seem to have a rather one-sided and narrow view of the world. Your own attempted put-down

You clearly don't fly.

could just as easily be turned back against you since your general outlook is less reflective that the one you criticise - something which could be argued to be less than desirable in a pilot. Yours is a point of view, but you state it as if it were an obvious and self-evident fact.

Those degrees say to me that somebody can't make up their mind.

You could be right here. But you could also be wrong. In fact this way of looking at things demonstrates caution and a willingness to consider different options. You don't appear to be troubled by such considerations as you already know the answers. How lucky are you!

[TheBeak]

How lucky are you!

Oh no, we have another one! Should that have been a question mark? Even if it was rhetorical?

Yours is a point of view, but you state it as if it were an obvious and self-evident fact.

Clearly I am aware that it is MY POINT OF VIEW given by:

Those degrees say to me that somebody can't make up their mind.

What I fear you may be doing, as others on here do I am sure, is putting some kind of voice, from your head, into what and how I am saying things. You are missing the point. My opinion is not fact but I am entitled to voice it as strongly as I like. And I would in a cockpit or any other workplace. Provided someone justified their opinion, theres would over-ride mine. And experience, from say a captain, would be sufficient to do so AND has been sufficient to do so up to now.

Now......back on to topic.

Gents I think we are going slightly of the ball here! By the way, thanks for sticking up for me Zerotohero.. Some people on pprune or so uptight! I’m beginning to think the elder members of pprune are actively trying to put youngsters of a flying career! Are they scared of younger, brighter job competition in the not too distant future?

[Rob1975]

oh and gents.... it's spelt grammar!

[zerotohero]

TheBeak

nope i dont fly,, not unless you count the 500+hours as instructor then the 500+hours as charter pilot and recently the 1000+hours on 737 with FR


yep i dont fly! lol

you sound a fool

[rodan]

Provided someone justified their opinion, theres would over-ride mine.

That should be 'theirs'.

And I would in a cockpit or any other workplace.

You shouldn't start a sentence with 'and'.

And experience, from say a captain, would be sufficient to do so AND has been sufficient to do so up to now.

This sentence doesn't make sense.

If you're going to be a spelling and grammar nazi then at least make sure your own is perfect, eh?

[TheBeak]

I accept the 'theirs' comment and thanks for the correction......but to say you can't begin a sentence with the word 'and' or any other conjuction for that matter is tripe. You are wrong, especially when the sentences in question are conversational like these are.

The sentence does make perfect sense.

Back on with the thread now......

[cptdivz]

TheBeak you have a lot of time on your hands 'ey!

[TheBeak]

Yup and let that be a reason why one should not train to be a pilot right now!
