ASA ATR Displacement

[MetroSheriff]

Metro Sheriff you are a real jerk. All I wanted to do was put a webpage online to share my passion for flying and all I get is slammed by a bunch of mean spirited jerks like yourself. I hope one day that I never get you as an F/O!

Jeez Matt, you are gonna have a rough go of it unless your skin thickens up. We're just having a little fun at your expense. We were all there once. If we hadn't been then it wouldn't be funny.

If you are that passionate about aviation then I would iagine you will be at Oshksoh. I will be camping in Vintage Aircraft meadow. I will give you my N-Number and you can drop by for some BBQ and a beer.

As for flying with me, you probably don't have to worry. The company told me I am not talented enough to fly with the Riddle guys...

Oh $hit.

I'm getting sick and tired of EVERYONE basing someones knowledge and skill based soley on the number of hours in ones logbook. A great education goes along way to make up for lack of flight time. I know I'll get flamed for this but I'm just sick of it, my degree from Riddle will make me a better pilot and will make up for lack of flight time in a logbook. There is more to flying than just droning around in cruise, a formal, professional aviation education has proven to more than make up for lack of flight time

Sound the alarm, something smells funny here. Either we got a very vindicative flamebaiter in here or this kid (to quote Robin Williams) 'is in darn need of a bl@wjob then any other white man in history.' Let's just assume we got some flamebait here guys. If this kid really as stupid as he is letting on here then I say let his @ss get slammed to the ground when he gets out to the real world like we all know it will. Unlike his type most of us listened to those who went before us when we wanted to learn about this profession.

Oh well, I'm off to enjoy one of the few holiday weekends I get off. I imagine this thread won't be here by the time I get back. Remember though, the Gaut and MattERAU will always be with us in memory...

 

[Mmmmmm Burritos]

Well heck, I'd better throw away my logbook and go learn everything over again at Riddle. Apparently I wasn't taught correctly.

Ever seen a cloud down there in Prescott?

 

[73belair]

hehehe... clouds in Prescott? Whats that?

 

[Mmmmmm Burritos]

hehehe... clouds in Prescott? Whats that?

They get clouds one day of the month... it comes from the steam coming out of all the parents ears when they get the tuition bill

See my previous post. I've got the degree myself. I would say i am pretty much on equal ground with everyone else....some are better, some are worse. Ground school seems to come down to study habits i think. Who is studying and who is out at the bar you know. I did get off the gate pretty fired up though. (graduation)

It's amazing people keep falling for this over and over again. The Guat was at least funny the first time because it was original. This is just stupid.

Repeat after me: this is not a real person. It's some bored guy with way too much time on his hands stirring up trouble!

 

[Mmmmmm Burritos]

I am going to try out for the Eagles flight team, when I make it do you think it will have an effect on regional airline recruiters? Other team members tell me that only the best get selected so I think it will look good on my resume.

OK, now I know this guy must be fake.

HAHAHAHAHA "when I make it"

I love these resume wonderboys. Airlines look at your resume only to find hours. If you don't cut it, it goes in the trash. They dont care about that stuff. The only good thing about joining a flight team is building free time.

 

[BoilerUP]

Yeah, upon further review this has to be flamebait. It was pretty believable in the beginning, but now its obvious.

I just can't believe somebody would waste their time finding some Riddle kid's website and fabricating this whole thing.

But hey, if you really want to join a successful flight team, UND won the SAFECON championship this past year, its right there in color in AOPA Pilot! You too can have pasty white skin and know more about the E6-B or airplane pictures than you know about the opposite sex!


<--flight team nerd as well, and yes, the free flight time is nice

 

[8HourPilot]

Most of us also gained some fairly close friends from the flight team, and also from other competitors teams as well.

 

[Ace757]

So how bout them ATR displacements at ASA?

Guys.....check this out! Matt is a Fake. http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=36294

 

[captainv]

it's fake alright. i emailed the real guy from the address off his web site.

his response:
Thanks for the notice. It is quite interesting. I had an oral with my instructor this evening and he walked in and said, "I think I picked up one of your posts on FlightInfo.com." I was like, "What?" I'd never heard of the site before, much less post anything to it. My IP is a member, so he showed me the posts and the person's profile. I have no clue who he/she is or anything but I've already begun measures to have him/her removed.

Thanks again for the notice. I have started my own (real) account, but it is not yet active and I cannot yet post messages to the forum. You're more than welcome to repost this email to the forum so that everyone knows what the situation is. I must admit I haven't read all of this person's posts yet, so I don't know how much he/she has done to attempt to damage my reputation thus far. Hopefully everything will be alright.

No, no, no, this can't be real. You really can't believe this crap. Your degree from ERAU is a nice start, but you really don't know a thing about the real world of commercial aviation. You have a lot to learn my friend, and with this typical ERAU attitude, it looks like you will have to learn it the hard way.

 

[Tim47SIP]

Just incase he is real.

Mat, I want you to go ask your professors where "situational awareness" comes from. Ask them if you can learn what it is in a classroom, hearing others talk about it, and WHAT THE HECK DOES IT MEAN. After their response, then go back and re read your posts and let us know if the ERAU education will make up for flying time. Also, your attitude speaks for itself. One of those pilots that is not afraid to get himself in a position that he can use his superior skills to get himself out of. P.S. Now re read my first two sentences.

To many people die from attitudes like this.

Re: MattERAU

To everyone:

I feel I must apologize for this person with the username MattERAU. He is not the maintainer of the website he/she claims as his/hers. I have no idea who that person is. Yesterday at a scheduled activity with my flight instructor, my IP pointed out this person and posts and that was the first time I was aware that anybody was using my identity for their own benefit or attention. I'm sorry for the confusion and any harm this has caused.

To respond to some of the posts, no I have never heard of a Riddle pilot getting hired with any less hours than standard, unless they (or someone from any other school) has gone through an airline's internship program.

I am not trying out for the flight team. They are a very good team, and I congratulate both the Golden Eagles for their 2003 and past National Chamionships, as well as UND for this year's and all their past championships (and every other school, you guys are very smart students).

Anyway, I hope that settles some of the tention brought about amongst this forum. To clarify, that website is my own. I never intended for it to be posted to the forum or anything else. It's mainly up there for my friends to view and use some of the resources available. I try to keep it current but lately that's been hard.

Hope everyone is doing well and having a good Independence Day weekend (for those who are Americans at least). Good luck to everyone if I don't hear or get to write you again. Thanks for understanding. Hope everything is settled.

Sincerely,

Matthew Teixeira
Prescott, AZ

Very classy, Matt. Might I recommend you contact the moderators and have this imposter's posts removed and his account banned. Its a shame you were caught up in what most likely is some reserve-pilot mischef.

Once again, good luck with your flying.
