Wow, is this guy serious?

[Typhoon1244]

Well, how 'bout this: somebody find Paul Holte and get him to sign up for The Hangar at Flightinfo.com. I'll bet it'd be real interesting!

Maybe he could do a weekly collumn...

 

[ifly4food]

Now we did it... they shut down his web page for "excessive bandwidth consumption".
In lay terms, that means they are going to charge him to get it back up and running because he consumed too much of the server's resources.

Can we give it a break now?

 

[Rank&File]

GIVE HIM A BREAK!!

His page was probably created to be viewed by freinds and family as sort of an internet Christmas card. You know, like one of those news letters families send out every year. I'm sure this fella is really nice and I feel bad that everyone is on his case about this.

Yes, I'm taking up for him. Y'all find someone else to pick on.

 

[V1Cutt]

I think we all owe him a debt of gratitude for saving the country from another terrorist attack.
LMAO

I followed the advice of the server when it said I should try again in X hours. I did and got to browse for about 15 minutes. It looks like the next window of opportunity is about 6 pm EST.

He gets no schmuck vote from me. He's not exactly Dave Berry but he IS a good story teller.

Put me down for the Give Him A Break column.

 

[rgnlwannabe]

I have seen the site, and I have met this guy. I know his site is kind of corny, but leave him alone, he is a very nice guy, and was a pleasure to talk to.

 

[RichO]

Let me guess, everyone here is sitting reserve.......ok, now I'm curious.........I guess I'll be trying around 8pm ET

 

[jergar999]

I finally got in! Seems like a nice guy, but when I read the stories the voice in my head is Greg Brady. Anyone else get that? Maybe it's just the lack of sleep and time of night. Also, no resolution to the terrorist story. What ended up happening to Sheik Yerbouti?

 

[FlyingSig]

Well, I stayed up an extra hour just to wait to see this darn (**CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** forum censor) site....

I did find his buddy the night cargo guy that thwarted the bank robbery's website interesting because you can play pac man on it:

Now go play until you all ruin this dude's bandwidth (what does Angelfire give away for free, I was able to browse for about 10 minutes before I got cut off)

 

[jergar999]

One more thing:

If this guy put up some banner ads that payed by hits, he could probably retire just from the hits on this board...which gives me an idea.

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

I finally got to view the page. Its a riot. This guy is very funny whehter he means to be or not.I loved the stories.

I hope Clown Pilot gets to take a look at it, I would love to see his comments about this guy.

The part were he "stopped" a terrorist attack was the best. He was just to chicken to stick around and see what happened.

 

[Typhoon1244]

B-J-J!

C'mon, B-J-J, that's just mean! Really obnoxious. You ought to erase that. From what the guys who know Paul are saying, it doesn't sound like he deserves comments like that.

 

[B-J-J Fighter]

Point Taken. I was a little to brutal. Did you get a chance to check it out?

 

[Typhoon1244]

Okay, I have finally seen the entire site...and I've got somethin' to say: all of you clowns that are making fun of this guy should be ashamed of yourselves!

Yes, it's funny. It's hysterical! Paul has basically taken all of his raw, uncensored musings and put them up for anyone to see. He's a dork. And if all of us had the stones to be as open as him, I think we'd find that most of us are dorks!

I don't follow sports either. It just bores me. I actually had a captain ask me once, "you don't watch football, you don't watch baseball...what are you, a communist?"

My wife and I own a gas grill for hardcore cooking...but don't underestimate the speed and simplicity of a Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine when you're in a hurry!

And I personally saved the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport from a potential Al-Quaeda strike. I'm the guy who, on September 14th pointed out to the security folks that any terrorist with a stolen SIDA badge could enter the airport via the train from South Employee Parking! They shut that train down the next day. (You know, if I had that one to do over again...)

No, I don't live with my parents...but I know some Delta furloughees who do. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...even if it's not a culturally popular idea.

So get off Paul's back, everybody. Let he among you who is without dorkiness toss the first stone! And if you claim to be completely dorkiness free, then I'm callin' you a liar!

I submit that being a regular contributor to this very discussion forum pre-qualifies you as a part-time schmuck.

Nice post Typhoon.

I work with Paul. Have known him for 2 years now. I know about the site but dont have any comment on it. He is a good guy just a little young. Glad you guys got a laugh but he would give the shirt off his back. I know maybe I shouldnt be defending him but hey you look out for your friends.

Hope everyone is having a happy new year so far.

[Caveman]

Rook,

I always knew you were a class act. The fact that you would stick up for a friend at a public level doesn't surprise me one bit.

I haven't seen the page in question but it still amazes me that a naive young man with a decent little home page is ridiculed in this country, but we make idols and heroes out of some worthless loser like Eminem.

Excellent point.

 

[100LL... Again!]

I was amazed!

This guy is an airline pilot ...and ... he's ...happy.

No bitchin' on his site from what I can see. (Are we sure he's really a pilot?)


More power to this guy. I'd fly with him any day.

 

[LAZYB]

...and yet he doesn't seem worried about random drug checks, hmmm.

Nice site, "seems" like a nice guy, though he still could be a pilot...

 

[Country Wild]

From the link I am guessing his name is Paul Holte...Keep that in mind ya'll when shows up for an interview...
