1% giving 99% of us a bad name...

Well well well, 100 and a half and I can actually agree on something. Treating anyone w less than total respect is a recipe for disaster in this business. Bizav is a small community. Folks who saw that will see that guy again. You never know who you will be working for, be asked for a reference, see again etc etc.

EVERYTIME you walk through an FBO you should conduct yourself as though you are on an interview. Even on repo legs never let anyone see you in anything less that a full company attire. Treat everyone with respect.

Guys who are spazs and blow up over nothing are telling you something. How do you think that guy would behave w an engine fire, imc after selecting gear up. He's exactly the guy you dont want to be sitting next to.

Forget that... It's Flip Flops and Shorts for me. But then I guess that is out company Attire sometimes.

How about the guys who follow me into the FBO where I have been employed for 4 years and start yelling at me because I tailgated them? They come into the FBO swearing at me. The CSRs were speechless.

Keep in mind this is not a part 139 airport with no airline service. I am in uniform with my security badge. There are no security signs at the gate.

And the best part was that I opened the gate with my remote for the jerks. The short story was they called my DO and apologized. Not without making total asses of themselves.

Overall I've given up on pilots unless they prove otherwise. Its far more than 1% in my opinion.

Pilot's have always had a stereotype for being cool, fun etc but in real life I would say 75% are total dorks and up-tight. Sad really...
