What is your "oh Sh*t" moment?

[A Squared]

Are you guys reffering to the coments on the photopage?

No, look for a hyperlink. I think it's the only one on the page.

It's disappointing that so much activity here is spent bashing others, instead of leaving well enough alone. It's a childish behavior: when nothing is left to offer, attack.

Why is that?

 

[Iceman21]

It's called human nature. In our primative subconsious "protect yourself" thinking, it is easier to attack a person, than to make yourself vulnerable by extending a helping hand.

 

[Chunk]

Yes, Iceman, it's definately the "primative subconsious [sic]"...it's definately that. Or the fact that she's a BSing know/done-it-all who is annoying as crap.

 

[Iceman21]

Whether or not she or any person is annoying doesn't matter. If it bothers you tune it out or merely laugh at it and look the other way. Belittling a person does nothing good, except the belittler feel superior.

No, Iceman, that's not what's going on here. Frequently some low time pilot, student, or wannabe joins the group, and announces his presence. You'll find that to a person everyone bends over backward to make him or her welcome, encourage them, and answer thier questions, even the most basic and obvious of questions. No, there's plenty of encouragement, support and help for newcomers.

If jedi had quietly joined the group and contributed when she could and listened and learned, she would have been afforded the same respect. No, instead she plasters this and other forums with her claims that she knows more about flying than pilots with "decades sitting front seat of an airliner", how the "little things" like instrument and electrical failure in IMC "don't bother her anymore", her tales of the dozens of lives she's saved, and how she knows special secret instrument tecniques that are known only to her. Look, when a 700 hour pilot starts slinging such utter garbage, she's going to attract attention, and it's not going to be good. I know that a few people, myself included, politely suggested that she might tone down the fantasies a bit. She chose to ignore the advice. She's a bit like the kid who came on recently pretending to be a Concorde pilot. Her stories are about as credible, the difference is, the kid eventually admitted he was just blowing smoke and apologized.

Perhaps you are right, we should just ignore her twaddle, but be aware that this didn't happen in a vacuumn, no-one singled her out at random.

She has an Eagle ATR on her web page. Anyone turned her in to the AMR trademark gods? You know how they pout about their chickens being posted without permission...

 

[JediNein]

AMR Legal and I have already had an exchange of letters. Why don't ya find something unique to hammer on? Like high wings versus low wings?

Fly SAFE!

How about the pitch/power relationship? Self professed experts always seem to have a unique outlook on that...

**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**it, haven't I explained this enough yet?

Pitch controls how much damage there's going to be when you impact the earth.

Power controls how much noise is made when you impact the earth.

What more is there to know?
