To the well mannered FLOPS pilot in TPA 1/25/08

[400A]

Mr. Cool FLOPS pilot with the stupid looking Goat Tee in TPA on 1/25/2008, I just wanted to personally thank you for taking call after call on your cell phone and running your mouth loudly non-stop while everyone else in the room was trying to rest. Learn some manners! Take it outside!

Mr. Cool FLOPS pilot with the stupid looking Goat Tee ...

Was it like this?

 

[jetwash]

What did he say when you asked him to take the call outside?


You did ask him didn't you?

I am sure you must have since it bothered you so much that you waited a day before you posted your disgust on this board.

While I agree totally that manners are required, so is commonsense.

No, because the confrontation would have just further disturbed the others trying to rest in the pilot lounge. You are correct, common sense should have told him to take it outside. I am not going to confront someone in public over something like that.

By saying it here he is not embarrassed in public. No one on this board will know who he is, but if he reads it, he will.

The next time you see that idiot FLOPS pilot running his mouth disturbing people- slap the sh#t out of him. Not only is he rude, but probably working overtime and not supporting the fight for a better quality of life.

slowjet
and FLOPS dog.

Man up dude. Ask him between one of the calls, if you can talk to him in private..perhaps on the ramp. Politely explain that all the noise is disturbing the others (I know, I get bothered by that too if it is excessive) and walk away.

Personally I do feel that would have been a whole lot more appropriate than slandering him on here. No doubt he was insensitive to others, but you can do better than this yourself.

Hey man, go easy. Just look at the facts:

- He works for FLOPs so he most likely flies a Beechjet (loud and whiney).

- He works for FLOPs so he can't afford a good headset.

He was talking loud because he is going DEAF!:laugh:

I'm not positive, but I think you might be referring to me. If I offended anyone, I am sincerely sorry. I wish you had said something.

Also, I will apologize for the goatee. No one has ever told me that it looked stupid. Now I know.

Thank you.

Man up dude. .

Sorry, when a sentence begins like that, I have difficulty respecting your advice.

Really? I thought the important portion of my comment was the CONTENT and not whether or not that happens to coincide with the way you speak.

In any case...the point stands. If you have such a problem that you choose to post on here a day later, grow a pair and talk to the guy yourself...in private (I RESPECT your concern about not confronting him in the midst of other crews.)

Good luck anyway you see it...you can choose to be whoever you want to be.
