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

[400A]

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.

If it was you, thank you for the apology. As far as the Goattee, that is your fashion choice. You may want to read some warnings on your O2 mask.

Sorry for venting on the board, but I do not normally jump folks in public for non safety related issues.

Good for you Turbo!

Took guts to come on and "man up" it was you and you F-ed up!

We could us a guy like you at Netjets!

Oh yeah.....Lose the Goatee!

Pretty basic manners to take your "private" conversation elswhere.

This situation ended well!

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!

Dude, no question that the guy was being a d***** in his lack of courtesy to the other pilots in the room, but man up, you shouldn't be a p***** about telling him to shut up. You coning on here and saying this will probably never get to him, its more likely its you way of dealing with your own lack of action.

Your mom must be proud of your language skills. Do you read much? He already saw the thread, but you were to busy using your big words to notice that...

For those of you who feel that I should have said something in the lounge, IMHO sometimes it is better not to go with a gut reaction. I happened to be on a contract trip for a Fortune 500 company and I was flying with their Director of Aviation. They are very low key and expect top notch professionalism at all times. I do not feel confronting someone or inviting him outside would have been appropriate at all.

Was it like this?

I was scratching my head on this one for a few...then it hit me.....Funny, I think I Sheeringa's myself. Gotta go wipe my Sanjay now.

With respect to facial hair on men, in the year 2008, it is most commonly associated with people who don't give a ********************. High and tight is the order of the day if you want a job in aviation. And clean shaven. And NO LONG SIDEBURNS. That's like hyperElvisGay.

Miss cool cheerleader chick from high school. I just wanted to let you know what a tease you were. I took you out to dinner fully expecting to get a little sumthin sumthin. You wore a low cut sweater that really showed your cleavage and you flashed me you panties when you got out of the car. All that and nothing. I mean....what the hell, you little slut! I hope you get run away acne and your ass gets big.

I too can be a dick!

I have two course of action for loud cell phone talkers.

1) If I feel like I can participate in the conversation I'll usually throw in my opinion. For example, I have helped out with directions, investments, corrected people on flight time arrivals etc. You get the idea.
Normally I don't get involved in family related conversations, too personal and may lead to physical contact.
People normally don't want you participating in their conversation and will take it eslewhere.

-or-

2.) I get out my phone and pretend like I'm talking to my mother. "Sorry Mom, I can't hear you. There is a guy talking really loud on his cell phone". "Excuse me sir, I'm talking to my mom and she is having breathing problems, could you talk quieter so I can hear her?"

Most people are so engrossed in their little world they don't realize what a jerk they are.
