What is your "oh Sh*t" moment?

[A Squared]

it is easier to attack a person, than to make yourself vulnerable by extending a helping hand.

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?

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?

I know that no has singled her out, I can understand the feelings many have, but that does not justify the treatment. What happens when you give a child the attention they are asking for by acting up? They keep acting up. How do you get them to stop? Ignore them.

That's good advice for a troll, but that is not the case here. Her constant stream of knowledge nuggets and "informed" opinion makes her fair game.

...and that's relevant how?

The point is this: JediInsane has some badass sunglasses!

Discussion over.

Here's an example of the ridiculous crap spewing from her mouth:

Direct excerpted quote of a post written tonight on jetcareers.com (great website, btw) by none other than Ms Inane:

6. When it's 70 degrees out and humidity above 20%, watch out for carb ice. The 182 has a habit of complete power failure due to carb ice right about 50' AGL after takeoff. Those Continental Engines *WILL* ice up.

Fly SAFE!

Has a "habit" of complete failure, does it?

Not quite as stunning as the 15K private or the "I have more experience in 700 hours as most airline pilots" remark, but still, worth noting.

No boot, yer just making yerself look retarded. If ya haven't noticed, folks don't give a rip about yer personal likes, and it was only funny the first month.

Wake up boot, dipping pigtails in ink was grade school. This is the real world now, ya have to shower the intended female with gifts and flowers to get their attention. Otherwise, they ignore yer sorry looking self or file a restraining order.

 

[Chunk]

boot, eh?

 

[avbug]

Hey chunky, this is getting really old.

BTW, normally aspirated 0-470's do have a propensity for carb icing. She's not making it up.

Hey chunky, this is getting really old.

Speaking of chunky, dude, I ate like tons of grub before my long solo cross-country and I had to take a crap like when I leveled off. No way I'm holdin it in until landing, so I start thinkin.

Yeah, dude, I'm pretty well trimmed up and stuff, so I open the window, undo my belt, drop trou, and I got my butt right there in the sweet spot. Dude, it was SOO nasty and runny, but I'm thinkin it's all good cause it's all goin out the window, right?

Not exactly dude, when I went to put my pants on, I'm thinkin how cool I am. Then I sit down and it's like "splosh", then I feel it, like warm nasty, all squirtin and flowing out the top of my pants, and like the back of my legs are kinda warm and wet now too.

Meanwhile, I guess that crap stuff kinda distracted me a little, cause I look out the window, and there's like trees and stuff to my left and there's like this HUGE SEMI to my right! Oh, crap! I'm like lined up at about 20-30 feet above this Interstate and descending (naw bro, I ain't telling which one). It gets even more crazy. Theres like this bridge and stuff coming up and theres like this big pause cause I gotta figure out what to do, only it's kinda hard to think because everything like stinks like a big nasty used diaper and stuff (I ate BooKoo mexican and muey Cervasas the night before).

Anyway, I got no option man, so I grab the yoke and I'm going for it, right under the bridge! Freaking rightoeus Dude! Well, almost, cause I'm just comin out the other side and it's like Oh Crap, another Freaking Semi! This ones heading right toward me. Dude I pull back and add power, and the Freaking Stall reed is like freaking squealing "dude, bad kharma, bad kharma" Dude, I'm thinkin like the two trucker dudes probably were diggin the show, but not me dude, During the pull-up, you guesssed it, I was so freaking wired that I crapped my pants again!

I still can't believe I never got violated, but it litrally scared the crap out of me!
