As a newcomer to GA (and not yet a pilot), I look for information
everywhere.


Ken,

This is Chuck Slusarczyk's nightmare come to life Since you're new to RAH
you don't have the perspective that came out of the Zoom Wars of several
years ago. At that time Jim was still posting here and you could judge
from
his own words what Captain Zoom Campbell is really like in the darkness of
his soul.


Jeez...

Can I at least say I like Pete Combs' voice?

Ken,

This has nothing to do with the staff at ANN. Most of them turn out to be
good people after Jim stabs them in the back and they quit ANN. Ron
Wanttaja used to be a big time Zoom supporter and part time employee.

I'm not a Zoom supporter, in fact, I have warned others about him. But at
least as far as ANN is concerned, to me it is like they are handing out free
coffee. If I want a cup of coffee and they are handing it out for free,
I'll take it.

If the cup has his name on it, I'll turn the cup so that my hand hides it!

And Jim Jones was just handing out Kool-Aid.

It was Flavor Aid ...not Kool-Aid

Small nit, unless you work for Kool-Aid.

Sometime they quit and then get stabbed in the back. Actually I once
met a gruntled Former Zoom Employee. There is only one AFAIK.


Ron Wanttaja used to be a big time Zoom supporter and part time employee.


Ron did weigh about 30 pounds more back then :-)

Me too. I guess our only chance now is to go to Pinkneyville. You know,
whatever else is said about Zoom, he was mildly entertaining. Of course, I
was never sued. When I heard about the P1 temperature 0 (Pitot) tube, I
about bust a gut. And he honestly sounded like he believed it. You just
don't find folks like that every day.

Unless that was an imposter at Pinckneyville, you now are one of "the
Ilk"... with all the benefits and privileges that membership entails.
