Refute this!

[Typhoon1244]

You know what's so amazing about this web board to me? Nobody can make an assertion of any kind--no matter how well reasoned or documented--on this board without somebody coming out of the woodwork and telling them they're full of sh_t! I'll bet I could post "the Sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning," and some clown would jump all over me for making such a wild, undisciplined statement. Either that, or they'd say "not if (choose one: the RJDC / DALPA) had anything to do with it!"

Can anyone post something under this thread that nobody can (a) refute or (b) twist into a discussion of scope, mainline vs. regional jets, furloughs, pay-for-training, or college education requirements?

I don't think it can be done!

Kiss off, Typhoon! You're an idiot!

And I just got hired by Gulfstream today! Woohoo!

 

[eriknorth]

Actually, the sun rising in the east is only from the perspective of someone on Earth. It doesn't really "rise."
-I feel ya, man

congrats, BigD!

and Typhoon, I know what you mean - net communications seem to leed to people being less civil than they would be face to face.


if only because 1. we can't punch them. 2. their words lay printed, so it's not like they're said on forgotten; each time you read a thread, they're there in your face. and of course 3. people often hit the reply or send button without cooling off.

Going to Gulfstream?? Do you have to pay for training?Just curious. Good luck!

 

[bigD]

Thanks Dot_AK! I was just flying Cessna 150's before, and they hired me and put me right into the copilot's seat of a 1900! They must really be impressed with my piloting skill! Some people say that they only hired me because of the twenty thousand dollar check I wrote to the airline, but they'll see how good I am at raising and lowering the gear and change their tune!

IVE GOT IT. Actualy I believe this is an old Egytian(sp) proverb.

[bigD]

Drat! I don't think I put enough smileys after my Gulfstream comment! Either that or I'm taking YOU guys too seriously!

The net certainly brings out the courage in people. It's sometimes a good thing, and many times a bad thing.

Gravity works...

"Gravity works..."

Yes, but does it always apply? You must be a freight pilot.

"the Sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning,"

Typhoon, for this comment I accuse you of being wild and undisciplined.

If your union had better scope you and didn't fly an RJ, you would not have this problem.

Better still, if you didn't wear a uniform and didn't salute anyone it would make me feel much better about myself.

 

[ibaflyer]

Ok I'll try.

I LOVE TO FLY!

Now, can anyone prove me wrong?

Every takeoff will be followed by a return to earth. Spaceflight excepted.

Well since you said "Every" and every being an absolute... your statement would be incorrect... You can't "except" an item while using an absolute that covers all...

Voyager 1 Spacecraft will never, ever return to earth... so in it's logbook there is 1 take-off and 0 landings

Sorry... but nice try... play again next week...

I put forth that a tree falling in the woods with noone around still makes a sound!!!

Without an empirical observation to prove this, how do you really KNOW?

Trees need a better union and a scope clause. We wouldn't have this problem if it weren't for all these d@mn RJ's.

grammar police alert

"the Sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning,"

No, it will not. The sun does not have a consciousness, so it can’t have a will. Now perhaps the sun shall rise tomorrow, but I’m not ready to concede that yet, either. We'll have to see how today goes, first.

Actually, if the theory of Curved Space is true, Voyager may return to Earth, or whatever is left of Earth, someday.

Unless, of course, most flying is being done by RJ's at that time, which may cause space to distort in a wildly unpredictable manner.

 

[TXCAP4228]

Curved Space

Timebuilder, I think you're missing the real issue, that is space wouldn't be CURVED if it had a better union.

This is a clear example of management's abuses, and the union is letting it happen. I think space and the galactic brotherhood should get new union leaders.

If a man speaks in the woods with no woman around, is he still wrong?
