Thanks for your kind comments, which I appreciate more than words can say.
 
'Mav' works at Comair and is merely providing entertainment. And I must admit, it is kinda funny watching you pros (and wannabes) get so worked up over his flame-bait posts. Entertaining indeed.

:D :D :D

"Mav" Flamebait

Whatever. In any event, "Mav" has fomented, inspired and generated even more anti-P-F-T fervor. Perhaps pro P-F-Ters might think twice for fear of the shellacking "Mav" has received.

Thanks, "Mav." By spawning more P-F-T hatred you have furthered the cause for real pilots. May you reach takeoff safety speed for all your V1 cuts in every piece of "jeavy" iron you might fly.

I can assure you I'm not TopGun-Moron. He's either a real, registered poster, or someone, who hopes with his posts, to foment more anti P-F-T sentiment than exists already here.

I would agree with tscarecrow,
bobbysamd sounds like he's copying the technique, radio jock Phil Henry uses to stimulate interest from his audience.
Reading boobysamd's, opps, sorry, bobbysamd's threads only leads me to believe, he coudn't make it through the interview process. Gees, "B" you couldn't get hired during the largest hiring boom in history?
If you came off in the interview like you come off on this board, you can eliminate your age discrimination theory.
I've met many people who started at booby's age who made it and are now 121 captains.
Poor boobysamd.....
 
I guess I have been flamed . . . . .

The last hiring boom, of which you are aware, was the late '90s-early '00s. That, my friend, was the largest boom in history. Regionals were hiring with 1200-100 or less. The one I knew, the late '80s-'early 90s, was not nearly as huge as the last one. FYI, 1500-500 and an ATP were bare minimums. More likely interview quals were 2500-500+. I don't think you were around then.
If you came off in the interview like you come off on this board, you can eliminate your age discrimination theory. I've met many people who started at booby's age who made it and are now 121 captains.
I barely had a chance to speak at my interviews. Most of them lasted, at most, fifteen minutes. They did the talking. I remember one interview in particular where I was asked twice, by two separate interviewers, if I was ever convicted of a felony. I answered "no" twice. That really was the extent of that interview. So much for your theory.

I have a friend within a few days of my age (53), who had interviewed with Trans States about four years ago (during that boom), who learned that he was rejected flat-out because of his age.
Poor boobysamd.....
I welcome everyone's comments, even yours, my friend. And, you are my friend for taking the time to read my comments. Please, write more responses. Thank you for taking the time to read my posts. :)

Yeah and I've met a lot of people who haven't. What's your point Ace? Just out taking cheap shots?

Amazing how low people get with the crap they post here. Whatever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say..." ah, you probably wouldn't even know the rest.

OK MR. BE-1900 Pilot. Heres some questions?

1. Whats the max allowable torque when your primary governor fails and your overspeed governor (not the fuel topping governor) takes over?

2. How can you tell if you have a tripple-fed bus failure?

3. Since the only switches you really touch involve the bleed air, when does the "BL AIR FAIL" light come on?

4. What are the functions of the GCU?

5. When does the autofeather arm?
wow...ummm you got alot of time on your hands.........you must be fresh off a PC.....

My point is, Bobby constantly rants about how the "system" was unfair to him. Bobby has more than once hinted that he didn't get on with regionals because of age bias. I say he is bitter, takes his anger and disappointment out on people who go an alternate route. I think its pretty low to insult a whole group of people who choose to pursue a different route on their way to a job. Just because people don't agree with the way Booby would do things doesn't make them wrong.

PS, that age discrimination theory is crap. I find it insulting as one of the many who did get hired.

Once more, my friend, I thank you for your kind comments. Just as you are doing, sir, I am only expressing my $0.02 opinions.

Here is a link to the crap.

Prove me wrong. How old were you when you were hired? And in what year? What was your level of experience? Did you have 135 experience? If you have read my posts carefully, you will have noted that I have said I do not believe there is age discrmination against over-40 pilots who started out young and got their chances later and/or who had previous 135, 121 or corporate experience. Just so you understand, I believe that age discrimination is practiced against later-life career changers without 135, 121 or corporate experience.

Having written all that, please, send me more insults.

Bobbysamd, Booby,
Phil Henry, or whatever your name is.
Let's just say I had the same qualifications, maybe even less than you had.
I had the same theories as you, when I too, was turned down from COEX when they were pay for training. I had to adapt, change my interview techniques.
I saw people PFT and I should have done it. Those folks are by far way ahead of the crowd. Heck one quarter of the folks at my current outfit paid for training. Oh yeah they were paid back from company, are they PFT rats?
Gees, we have drifted way off of this thread.
Booby,
aviation has changed structurally in the last two years.
If you wanna bash and insult people,
rant against the management of the legacy carriers.
They have essentially destroyed the future of both "PFT" and "non PFT" folks.
We the taxpayers, are gonna wind up funding BILLIONS in pensions.
 
P-f-t

So why don't you come forward with them, as I asked? Why won't you answer my direct questions? In particular, whether you had 135 or other non-instructing time before you were hired? Once again, prove it.

At least I am up-front with my story. You, my friend, are evasive. Anyone can attack someone else, but let's see you put some facts behind your attacks. I see . . . .
I saw people PFT and I should have done it.
(emphasis added)

Well, we now see your true colors. At least I have never paid for any job in my life, nor have I any respect for those who have, those who do, those who will, or those (like you) who wish they have.
Gees, we have drifted way off of this thread . . . .
. . . thanks to you, sir, who initiated the age discrimination rant. You came way out of left field with that one, when the rest of the posters were just having another P-F-T discussion/TAB bashfest. Do you wish you went to TAB? Or Gulfstream? Please tell.
Booby . . . . If you wanna bash and insult people . . . .
As Ronald Reagan said, "There you go again." You are diverting the discussion, again. Maybe you are really TopGun-Mav.

You must be really sensitive. I've seen plenty of anti-P-F-T people call P-F-Ters "whores." Why don't you attack those folks? I have never used that term about P-F-Ters, nor will I. But I do not care for their P-F-T practices and I will certainly advise and speak out against them.

Got more insults? Certainly you can do better than "booby" and "boobysamd".

Sorry Booby,
As the senior Bush said "Not gonna do it"
I don't need to prove a thing to you. ;)
When it comes to anti PFT guys you are probably the loudest.
I think you didn't get my intent Booby.
People who paid for training, are way ahead, than you and the anti PFTers.
I wonder, where would you be now if you paid for training? Hmmm?
We'll never know, but I know where you are now,
throwing tomatoes at people who chose a path different than you.
Bye Bye

I think you do. You attacked me and my opinions. Now, back it up. Prove it. I see . . . . .
When it comes to anti PFT guys you are probably the loudest.
To paraphrase James Brown,"Say it loud and say it proud, I'm anti-PFT and I'm proud.

You go all over the place. First, out of the clear, you attack my position on age discrimination. Then, when you cannot back up your accusations, you bring up P-F-T. It is impossible to have an intelligent discussion with someone like you.
I think you didn't get my intent Booby.
What is your intent? Attacking me for age discrimination or being pro-P-F-T. Methinks you are confused.
People who paid for training, are way ahead, than you and the anti PFTers.
Well, I, for one, have my integrity. Once again, no job is worth buying.
I wonder, where would you be now if you paid for training? Hmmm?
Reread the previous response. Then, read it again until you understand it. Then, read it once more.
I wonder, where would you be now if you paid for training? Hmmm?
For openers, probably being blackballed. Probably defrauded, and, for that reason, not hired, even after paying for it. Not being able to look at myself in the mirror. That matters the most to me.
We'll never know, but I know where you are now, throwing tomatoes at people who chose a path different than you. Bye Bye.
Here, again, you are extremely sensitive and you take things very personally.

Bye-Bye, Captain Faust. To thine ownself be true. I am.
