.... It
sounds to me like you were not on the airplane very long. Were you
just a flight engineer? Or were you a pilot? Just give a straight
answer John. Your postings are very suspicious buddy.


A touch over three years, pac, about three and a half. As a pilot.

And what do you mean by "...just a flight engineer..."? Bet you make a lot
of friends among the crews you fly with carrying an attitude like that.

Were you Captain, First Officer, or Flight Engineer hired on the basis
of having a Comm pilot lic? My guess it that you were in the
non-flying seat. The reason I suspect this is you have this constant
need to sign your posts with B747 at the bottom. I've never seen a
747 driver feel the need to do this all the time. I have seen S/O's
go to the bar and pretend that they physically fly the airplane since
people don't understand the difference.



Nothing suspicious about my posts. Just a guy who went to work and flew
the plane. From 72 to 96 I never had any kind of catastrophic failure in
any airplane. Period. OTOH, you seem to have endless tales of horrible
events, dangerous circumstances, horrid weather, self-destructing aircraft,
incompetent crew members, etc, etc.

I do believe you were a crewmember on the airplane John. You must
have worked for a better outfit than I did if nothing ever went wrong.
But things do fall off airplanes and sometimes they are lost; I guess
you never read AW&ST. Since I got hired we had six hull losses, and
killed four people. Many others were injured.
International/MAC/supplemental freight flying is statisically much
more dangerous than any other type.

Many of your posts involve
demonstrating how skillful you are and how bumbling someone else is.
Denigrating your F/O seems a recurring subject. In point of fact, your
posts sound a might suspicious to me. Nothing in your posting sounds like
any mature Captain I've ever encountered over the past thirty years.
Frankly, you sound to me like someone relatively new to the big leagues who
wants everyone to believe you're an old pro. I may be wrong, and hope I am,
and I really don't want to get into a debate about this, but that's the way
you come across to me.

Fair enough John. It's clear you don't like my writing style. I just
use these forums as practice for writing. I use a certain amount of
literary creative licence in my stories, otherwise they would be dull.
I include memorable things that happened to me in my career which
started in 82'.
