That isn't the problem that you make it out to be. Flying is not magic.

Actual pilots here--nearly all of
them--keep telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about,
and you still can't catch the clue.

Actual pilots here have made some glaring errors that have considerably
diminished my opinion of private pilots.

LOL! Yet, you can't differentiate between the private pilots, commercial
pilots, CFIs and ATP.

They don't seem to be nearly as qualified

You are not authoritative on who is qualified. The difference between
you is that they can and have flown planes.

Yes, I can, since their qualifications are a matter of public record.
Additionally, the more experience they have, the more likely they are to know
something about the topic, unless they are part of that accident-prone
minority that has just been lucky so far.

It's easy enough to check what they say, and when they are wrong, it does not
inspire confidence in their qualifications.

I participate in a lot of aviation discussions outside this newsgroup, but
this venue probably has the highest percentage of unqualified, blowhard
wannabes.

Bertie's, for example? "Buttman"? You only know my qualifications
based on what I tell you they are.

Based on the amount of posts you make here, that's undoubtedly so.

'Cept the problem is, 99% of the people here aren't wannabes. They're
pilots. You probably don't want to be calling everybody wannabes when
you've got no actual flight time. 'Cause as somebody pointed out, that
makes you the very backside of the curve.

No, I only know your qualifications if you give me your real name.

'Cept the problem is, 99% of the people here aren't wannabes. They're

They have a pilot's license, in some cases, but that's not saying much. It
says they had 40 hours and $6000, nothing more.

You probably don't want to be calling everybody wannabes when
you've got no actual flight time.

Why not?

In any case, I wasn't calling _everyone_ a wannabe. There are some pilots
here who are actually worthy of the appellation.

40hours and $6,000 more than you have.

It's 40 hours more than what you have, isn't it?

I think you're smarter than your behavior here suggests. Of course you
know why not. You'd not walk into a Marine enlisted club and call them
wannabes or you'd be sorting through your **** to find your teeth, and
then you'd understand the meaning of words like "bully" and "mean."

In any case, I wasn't calling _everyone_ a wannabe. There are some pilots

You're not one of them, and you're certainly not qualified by any
measure anywhere to decide who is "worthy" and who isn't.

There are bums on the street who might have more money in their pocket than I
do, but that hardly makes them rich. Forty hours is nothing. Forty hours is
just five days. Most people can't even develop a decent level of skill in
driving a car in five days.

I think it's not so much what my behavior suggests as what you infer.

wannabes or you'd be sorting through your **** to find your teeth, and

That would not make them right, nor would it make me wrong.

People who are upset often come up with analogies involving physical violence,
especially when they are male.

You're not one of them, and you're certainly not qualified by any
measure anywhere to decide who is "worthy" and who isn't.

Why should I lend any special credence to your opinion?

Forty hours may be very little, but it's 40 hours more than you have,
moron. They have flown an airplane, you haven't. Once again, you've
proven to the world that YOU DON'T KNOW **** FROM SHINOLA.
