A-Hole Pilot of the Day

[siucavflight]

I dont see the problem, I was to pay 6 dollars for fuel, I would expect something in return.

And yes Cirrus pilots are douch bags.

[siucavflight]

Then what is your point? I have used a crew car many times for business related travel, just dont see the big deal.

Apparently a lot of you don't understand the position of a corporate or charter pilot, the car in my opinion is for the flight crew to go grab a bite, it isn't for the aircraft owner to use because he's too f-- lazy or cheap to rent a car.

Well, you can have that opinion, and obviously you do. but, remember opinions are like a$$holes....... And at the end of the day, you opinion really counts for less than nothing at all (if that's possible) The car does not belong to you. the car belongs to the FBO, for serving thier customers as they see fit. It they think it is the sole domain of charter and corporae pilots, then it is. If they think that it is for the convenience of any customer that arrives in a plane, regardless of size, then it is. You can attempt to assert your opinion of what it should be, but you're wrong, and not a little infantile. There is no national ALPA courtesy car commitee, there are no courtesy car guidelines. the rules are made up by the guy who owns the car, and if you don't like his rules, well, all I can say is grow up.

If there was an ALPA courtesy car commitee do you think that I could be president of it?

You guys are getting mad at the wrong people. There are assholes who lack mannors everywhere and you cannot change basic human nature

You should go up to the manager of the FBO and remind him of who is really paying the bills (it is not Cirrus owners). Corporate pilots who have a choice in which FBO to use. Next time, perhaps you will chose to go down the road.

Case in point, Atlantic in SNA takes a copy of your CC and comps you 1 hour. Anything beyond that and there is a charge. If they are going to give you a courtesy, they expect the same from you.

As another courtesy, if I see a couple of crews looking rather hungery in the waiting area I always ask if they would like to join us.

If you are on business and need more than a lunch wagon, go rent a car. The world is full cheap assholes. We do not need one more when we are just trying to get lunch.

At last... a posting of sanity on an otherwise insane thread...

There are **************************************** who lack mannors everywhere and you cannot change basic human nature

Yeah, and if you go up to the FBO owner and start telling him who he can and cannot loan his car to, and precisely what hte purpose of his car is, you have just become one of those **************************************** with no manners.


Sorry, there is absolutely no sane rationalization for going up to someone and telling them who they can loan thier car to. The idea that somhow a car belonging to someone else should be reserved strictly for the use of ....XXXX (jet pilots, corporate pilots, pilots of planes that go over 200 mph, pilots who get paid....whatever. It all boils down to telling someone else "that's *my* car, it's only for *my* use and those who I say". Which is arrogant in the extreme when that someone is the person who owns the car, and you don't.
