Pilot Second Most Dangerous Job

[AiRegency]

Well the idiots are out in force. I WAS a bushpilot you dumbf***. I and my fellow aviators were nothing if not professional. But it's a dangereous and demanding environment and the average airline pilot will know nothing of real risk unless they've been to war, flown in the arctic or under high tension power lines. It's more dangerous to drive to work then it is to ride on an airliner. Do not kid yourself for one second by thinking that you're in a dangerous job.

I find it hard to believe that law enforcement and construction is less dangerous than flying.

The biggest threat most cops here in the south face is dying from food poisoning after sitting at the Waffle House all day. Or choking to death on a Krispy Kreme. They don't do much else except issue revenue boosting speeding tickets.

Oh you are so wise you spike hared one! Now go play with your IPod

All flying has risks just some are more risky. Crops dusters have a lot going on at low level with obsticles.

I dont have to be very far into a pairing before I guess, with about 95% accuracy, if the other guy was ever anything but a flight instrctor.

...and the next "revenue boosting ticket" traffic stop one officer makes can be his/her last when that driver happens to be on the FBI's top ten list.

jeez, the sensitive ones never get satire.

First, obviously I included all none non-121 operators in the realm of "professional" aviators...

Second, obviously I know flying at my regional is safer than my 2 mile commute to work....

Third, the sheer number of people on this board that don't understand sarcasm is almost deafening.

But OOOOH I was a cropduster or bush pilot... Go play with your self.

Buzzed post, I apologize.

 

[zasca]

Oh and bush pilots tend to die because of their environment and inherent risks, NOT due to a lack of professionalism, skill, or foresight. In case any of the jagoff kinder-kids need my reassurances.

I love it! You misconstrue my words, I straighten your dumb a$$ out and you come back with that! You might be dumb but your funny. Keep up the entertainment dummy!

By the way "spike hared" should be "spike haired". If your going to make feeble attempts at insults I must insist that you use proper spelling. Your punctuation could use some attention as well. Oh well, what should I expect from a tool that calls himself "dumb pilot".

Spoken like a man who hasn't lost many friends to this business yet.

This is true. The "Potential" is always there. However, in reality, you are much more likely to get killed working the night shift at a convenient store than being a Cop.

That's because of the nature of an internet message board. Readers can't see your facial expressions, or hear your sarcastic tone.

Also, people are less likely to accept sarcasm from strangers.

 

[zasca]

tone can be expressed through punctuation and choice of vocab.

Zasca,

do everyone a favor: stop typing, shut off the computer, walk away, don't come back.

Talk about a temper tantrum... someone dropped their binky.

You said something idiotic, were called on it. Learned nothing and responded with yet another idiotic tirade.

...just quit
