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

Street Vernacular

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...

Well dude, and to our gracious host and moderator, my apologies for my street vernacular. I will make every effort to use language that does not offend any sensitivities in the future.

That said, substituting for the offending verbs, d**k with inconsiderate oaf, and p***y with insecure and passive, my post stands. Instead of sitting there enduring the inconsiderate manners of a pilot, Flops or any other, your potential employer may have found some degree of confident manhood more desirable then the placid indifference and inaction you chose.

As for your inept and ill-informed assessment of my education, reading habits, and the upbringing by my mother, again in abbreviated street vernacular, KMA

Sonny having the nads to confront poor manners, inconsiderate behavior, incompetence, and or personal abuse does not require conflict. Most people will adjust obvious aberrant or intrusive behavior when it is politely pointed out to them. Next time try a direct approach rather then airing your inadequacies on a public message board.

Nice work. It only took you 24 hours with the dictionary and thesaurus to write your reply.

Also, I was not flying for a potential employer. I have a very secure position. I have been doing fill in work for this company when I am available for 14 years. They know they can count on me to not act like you.... no matter how manly you find yourself.

I bet you also always make a point to degrade line service and customer service personnel to show everyone what a manly stud you are. I am sure you do not abbreviate your gutter language skills with them though. You are a class act.

This whole thread could have been pulled right off the "Rants and Raves" on craigslist!

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.

I understand not wanting confrontation or causing more noise but 10 seconds of your index finger over your lips with a little ssss noise from you is much better for everybody in the room. Lots less disturbing than call after call. I'm an old fart and I have the ability of running out of politeness with people like that especially in the job/ working environment.

That is a good idea, I think I will try that next time. Thanks.

 

[SilverSurfer]

Be careful

Be careful, that may take a little guts on your behalf.

Amazing....He spoke without a "dude" or profanity....

I am impressed.

Well DUDE, as a wise man form Alabama once said;

"and that's all I have to say about that".

Not that you said anything worth reading to begin with.

YOU BOTH NEED TO SHUT THE F&%K UP!

Act like men...not kids.

Another STUD!

lol

No STUD here.....You two are making yourselves look like a couple rookies.

400A...you should have been a man and walk over and nicely asked the man to please step outside or please turn down the volume. Its that easy...the situation dose not have to escalated. Guess you need the protection of the internet for you to act like a man.

I stated why I did not and I stand by it.

If faking prohibited language on this board is how you prove you are a man...No thanks.

Talk about acting like a rookie.

Yeah he was wrong. But what good does it do to come on here and complain. All you would have had to do is politely tell him that you are trying to rest and if it would be possible to take the call outside. You can ask without being confrontational. But coming on here and calling him out doesn't make you any better rested for a flight that has already happened.

Maybe if you approached him about it, or tried to break the ice to discuss it with him, you may have gained a new friend.

But instead like most other arrogant pilot types, you decided to take the high road, congrats!

All right all you so called professionals...how about we stop bashing each other, show some respect for the professionals we think we are, and use this post the way it was intended - to share constructive information that promotes the profession we love.

Dear Silversurfer.
It was nice of you to appologize but now I bet Bob and his friends have already identified you, reviewed your post and probably scheduled you for a CGF1 arrival. In Tampa on a specific day and wears a Goattee. Humm !!!!!!
If you go say hello to my dear friend Rick K.
See you on the road.
