"Peter Duniho" wrote in message It's all we have to go on. We are
discussing, if you like, a hypothetical situation, the details of which have been specifically laid out for us. You have no more authority to say she should NOT have been turned in than I have to say that she SHOULD have been. Do we have all the details? If all the details were laid out, I would be inclined to think as you do. However, I want to hear the other side to make sure all the details are laid out. Repeat what? Your all-caps shouting is a completely different issue, and I vehemently disagree with your position. That's exactly the kind of asinine "protect our own" attitude that I'm talking about. It's assinine, until someone does it to you for reasons you think are assinine. Remember Mr. Bob Hoover? I'm not proposing that I, a person that wasn't there and knows nothing first-hand about the incident, turn her in. I'm proposing the person with first-hand knowledge of what happened turn her in. First-hand knowledge? Who else was in the plane with her? Witnesses on the ground tend to be unreliable with their testimony, even if they have a pilot's certificate. A lot of the problems we have as members of the general aviation community are caused by a few people who screw it up for the rest of us. And as long as we sit on our hands and protect those idiots, we have only ourselves to blame. Agreed. However, instead of sitting on our hands, I advocate inducing peer pressure. When the original poster stated that he just turned away after surmising that the pilot was hopeless, I was dissappointed. I have had excellent results by applying peer pressure. It can be in the form of a gentile discussion or a rowdy in-your-face emotional confrontation, depending on the method that seems appropiate at the time. The results are far better than the snide snears given out when someone threatens to tattle to the FAA. D. |
