On top of that, don't think for a minute that they wouldn't do your job for free if given the chance, then cruise for chicks at the supermarket in uniform afterwards.

Besides, they think so little of us too:

I think that we found out who matt506 is.

I was going to say... I didn't mean to copy of the airliners.net thread saying that flightinfo.com forums were sad... LOL Has anyone ever tried to upload a picture to Airliners.net they always reject it no matter what you do. I've followed their recomendations and they still reject it. I know someone who has tried over 50 times (no they were not using a disposable camera) and they still got rejected. I think most of the "A.net er's" are American hating Europeans. Yes i just said that.

But which America? There are a few of them.
But I know what you mean. I have tried and know of a few people that have taken excellent photos and submitted them only to be rejected.
I think it has become a "good ol' boys" club.

[font=Verdana,Helvetica,Arial]It all happened just as I was walking to US Airways' concourse. I was putting my cell phone back into my pocket and when pulling my hand out, a five dollar bill slipped out and fell onto the floor. My reaction time as far as to noticing what happened was a bit slow, however once I started to turn around to pick it up, I see a US pilot walking behind me pick it up, and stick it into his pocket! He didn't know I saw him and I never said anything, but sheesh you think he would give it back to me right? There is no way he could have been walking that close to me and have seen that it came out of my pocket! [/font]-Brian

Seems kind of passive/aggressive to me. The a.net poster saw the pilot pick up the $5, but instead of saying something (such as a simple "Excuse me, that was my $5, I just dropped it when I was putting my cell phone away.") he keeps his mouth shut for the time being and posts a thread about it on an internet website. The fact of the matter is that he really has no way of knowing whether the pilot actually saw the bill fall or not. Most likely the guy was thinking "Ah! A $5 spot just layin' there on the ground! I can eat lunch now!" and I'd pick it up too. And if someone pointed out to me that it was theirs, I'd kindly give it back to them.

Try to keep your panties from bunching up there sport. The world ain't out to get ya.

But then again, perhaps it is a mistake to use logic to deal with an illogical premis.

Edit: In my original post, I used "Brian" as the name of the poster at a.net. It has since come to my attention that Brian is the name of the author in this thread. I apologize for the mix up. (It probably could have been avoided if I had actually taken more than 10 seconds to read the post. I gotta work on that.)

I submitted a few pics to that site when I was 17 (1998), and they are still there. They suck badly too. I guess they were not so picky back then.

To those of you that thought I was being harsh on the a.netters, I respect anyone's right to participate in a forum, be an airline enthusiast, whatever. The example of posting the registration information of the Westwind in St. Maarten and suggesting that the pilot was being careless and wreckless, BASED ON A PHOTO, was totally out of line, particularly by someone who was most likely not a pilot. As previously stated, it would not be that far-fetched to think that the information could be used to harass the operator. Many of those enthusiasts have no clue how a pilot's career can be affected by such misinformation and the sacrifices, care and effort we take to keep our certificates intact on a daily basis. There have been countless other examples of postings on that message board that were totally baseless and concluded from rumors that could have jeopardized one or more individual's livelihood or career, whether a pilot or other airline professional.

OMG, I gotta say, this thread is so funny! I don't truly think anyone means anything heartless when they type, but you guys on this message board please back up KittyKat, it is funny! I have been fascinated with planes and rockets since I was a kid.

Hawkerflyer has me rolling! I didn't even know what a "westwind" was till I went to oshkosh today! Can you imagine, even a tri motor!

thank god, I don't ask stupid questions( ok once in a while I do)

I was a pilot wannabe for years! I just wanted to learn what to do, how to hold the yoke, how to do an ifr, how to do a vfr, someone where inside me I would still like to take a flight lesson.

I could see how aviation buffs love to ask questions, deep down inside it is a fascination. Being married to a pilot, he told me alot, both my x husband and my financee have been flying since they were 14 years old. I am fascinated with those planes from the 30's and 40's.

Yes, there are some weird people out there, but we are all here for one reason and that is the love of flying!

I haven't checked out the other message board yet, but I'm sure it is a hit!

Love MissKittyKat

EDIT:

A couple of glasses of wine and a quiet evening with the wife, and I get all earnest and spill my life story. I should have a one glass of wine limit before I post.

Don't appologize...I'm with ya bra...lets find out when they are having their summer forum picnic and crash it. Before they know what's going on and after we have stolen their chicks, we'll flip over their picnic tables and run like hell...while wearing t-shirts that say "flight instructor's homepage" on them.

REALLY?

No, not really. The flight instructor's homepage guys are cool...lets do it while wearing t-shirts from some PFT school, they'll love the publicity.

We'd be doing it on "principle" alone...no need to use real names.
