Interview suit a'la fractionals..

It isn't a perfect country flyzimex but people are not leaving it to go to a better country.

Again, best of luck in your interview. I hope you get the job.

For someone who has traveled many parts of the world, and lived in several different countries I know there is no such thing as a perfect country. Some are better than others, and the US definitely belongs in the first category.

As a person who has lived on almost every continent in this world, I agree.

Wow, I think I just saw a first. Two people with differing views on a subject exchanged messages on FI without calling each other names and talking about each other's mothers. I am on FI, right?

Way to go, you two. 7777, thanks for your service. My family and I sincerely appreciate the sacrifice both you and your family have made.

FZ, good luck.

Respect for other's views can go a long way.. More of that and this place would be a lot better for everyone. Just my .02..

I agree and it is people like flyzimex that have come to this country and helped made it the greatest country in the world. We don't all have to agree but we do all have to get along and support our leaders and military when we are attacked.

Freedom isn't free. Good men and women have died for us to keep it. Americans that realize this and do what needs to be done to become a good or better American are honoring them all.

A black suit, blue tie and white shirt worked for me flyzimex. Best of luck to you. I am sure you will do well.

Falcon pilot exempted, of course.

Every operation has a few of "those" guys...

 

[blueridge71]

Hear hear, 7777. Nicely said and thanks for your service.

Your comments are supported by the almost total lack of media coverage on the success of the surge and subsequent 80% drop in violence across Iraq. The depth of coverage normally does not go deeper than reporting the death toll from the most recent car bomb or IED. As a result, the average American, not to mention the average citizen of other countries, does not understand how vital the success in Iraq is to our national security.

FZ, When I began posting here in 2004 it was much worse, and I made regular appeals for civility across the board amidst sexist remarks and complaints because a non-pilot/wife dared to post in the frac forum. Thankfully those, here, who have an open-mind (and good manners) outnumber those who don't. Now I am treated with respect by most of the board members (posters like B19 are an example of the past) and many have come to appreciate (some politely tolerate.. ) the perspective I bring to the discussion. I value the camaraderie I have found here (thanks guys!) and I believe that the frac forum is becoming a friendly online community. Appreciation for respect furthers that goal.

Update

Well I'm getting my stuff together for the interview. Been hitting "Everything explained for he prof. pilot" this past week to refresh some stuff I have left way back in my brain. I know the interview is pretty much non tech, but it will feel better walking in overly prepared in case they throw me a curve ball.

I also left the suit I have chosen to wear at the tailor to make some alterations. Picked up a nice Hugo Boss shirt at a great price while I was out. Getting my haircut next week. Last and final step is to do an hour or so in a very good and affordable Level 3 FTD. Think I will have every box ticked by the end of next week.

I'll be darned if I don't make it after all this .

7777,

I would like to address a couple things you said

"Most people' don't realize that most soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors really like President Bush and support him."

I don't know what individuals you were around. I spent 5 months in the desert (Iraq) and the guys I was around DID NOT support the Bush administration. So don't come on this board and act like you are the spokesperson for the American military.

I have been deployed over to the Mideast for this war and saw first hand how the media machine shaped popular opinion on President Bush and this war.

Whatever happened to "Mission Accomplished” what is the mission again please remind me it has changed so many times that's why the military and the country is so frustrated. The media reports terrible things but that is what is going on. I know I saw it first hand. What do you think they to Stop Loss people like myself. Because military people

Last but not least, if you are flying in the military like you say you are you are a military officer. As an officer you know like most people on the board do not publicly YOU CANNOT SAY ANYTHING UNNSUPPORTIVE OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE YOU CAN BE COURT MARSHALLED AND with ACTIONS OF UNBECOMING OF AN OFFICER. You have no choice to drink the Kool-Aid.

Our economy is doing better than most would have ever thought it could have at this point after an attack such as 9-11. The aviation community is coming back and people are being hired.

LOL.... Economy is doing great. I would have responded to this but you are pretty delusional.
