Info for Commercial and ATP pilots

[Ravendriver]

There is a new resource on the internet exclusively for commercial and ATP rated pilots. Check it out here. I have found it to be incredibly useful.

Theres no shame in saying "Hey this is my site, visit it".

And is this like CAAM version 2? Whats the point of all these spinoffs?

It's nothing like CAAM. Read the front page and you will see what the differences are, and they are extensive.

I joined a couple days ago, it has been a refreshing change, to say the least.

With 6 posts, why would you need a "refreshing change"?

You do know that they have more of those adult diapers down at the "piggly wiggly"?

I was active on another aviation board and ended up here before finding the new place. The board I was at was similar to here, more flames and hatred than anything else.

Rage is prevelent all over the net...it doesn't matter if it is a flying related bulletin board or whatever. Everybody is in the road rage mode and ten bucks a year isn't going to screen it out.

Actually, it appears to be doing quite the nice job of "screening" already. The "tone" is much more mature and professional on the new board than I have seen anywhere else I have visited.

I hate to break it to you and the other proponents of this new site, but if I was looking for mature and professional, I'd get out of the airline business. The best part of my job is seeing who can make the other guy go for the outflow valve first.

Seriously, relying on anonymous user internet sights to get real information on being a professional pilot is like reading your horoscope: you might think the info is meaninful, but the person writing it is probably laughing their tail off at the thought that someone's gullible enough to believe it.

This thread will probably be deleted...other threads about this topic already have been...just as two of the moderators of this site who started the one to which this thread refers...disappeared...not by choice.

I thought all of that was supposed to be old news; I thought folks learned their lesson the last time around, with all the banning and what-not. Apparently not.

This site, flightinfo.com, has been one of the better sites for quite some time, despite rough spots, and some of the ridiculousness that goes on. It slid considerably after the loss of Mr. Shaden, and regained some stability recently...hopefully those in charge will drop their thom-foolery and let the world continue revolving on it's axis. Life's too short for petty jealousy.

Things evolve, including this site. Things spin off, new things start; that's life, that's the natural order of things. Many internet posters visit multiple sites...no reason people can't post here, and elsewhere, too. Food for the higher-ups here to consider and digest, before a new round of banning and punishment goes around.

I doubt it as he has already removed (banned) UAL78 and Falcon Capt who were long time moderators and contributors from flightinfo completely. I could see removing them as mods here but to completely remove their accounts, that fits right into the "petty jealousy" catagory if you ask me.

Yeah but at $10 I'll just weed through all the PFT and gulfstreem threads and stay here.

That's your choice. I don't think they are expecting (or even want) to get everyone, just a nice solid group of professionals who are tired of all the flaming, fighting and garbage that goes on the open boards. According to the site stats they have been open just over 10 days and have over 210 members, thats says to me a lot of people feel $10 is a small price to pay to not have to weed through all the garbage.

I pay $35 a year to be a member of AOPA which I feel I get far less benefit from than I will for the $10 a year for the ability to network and learn from a core group of serious professionals. I'll just skip 2 Starbuck's Venti Mochas during the next 12 months and I won't even notice the $10.

Your time is worth money, if you figure out what it is costing you to dig through piles of stuff, you might find out it actually saves you money in the long run, don't sell yourself short.

Not exactly banned, but removed...allowed to post, but in a manner in which only they can read their posts...nobody else sees them. A function that may be used on troublesome posters who don't realize right away they've been banned...sort of a shot from behind.

Two moderators who spent a lot of their own time here to ensure that this stayed liveable.

Whatever.

I don't own this or any other site, not my place to tell any of the owners what to do. As a long time observer and occasional participant, however, I don't see such acts favorably, nor do most others, the opinions of whom I might respect. For what it's worth, those in a position of strength here might take notice. The heavy-handedness that went on here before only served to create another site and draw away a large share of the membership here...clearly it was the wrong tack to take. Lesson learned, perhaps this time might be that we all really ought to get along.

So it's a real yawn-fest, in other words. If I want to be bored, and filled with officious "professional" nonsense, I'll offer to buy a check airman a cup of coffee.

 

[Flying Illini]

$10 to satisfy a curiosity...I've spent more than that for two beers at the ballpark...now that was a waste of money!

 

[JumpCaptain]

I'll keep my $10 and you keep your cool new website. Good deal.
