Kyle, you're wasting your breath. Until you (and others) stop
treating this "Bertie" like a pilot (as if "he" would have any clue
what flight service is), he will continue to grace this group with his
brilliant "fjukkwit" commentary. Ignore him (as do most of us) and
this troll-of-trolls will ultimately go away...

Jay, If "Bertie" isn't a pilot, he's doing one hell of a job faking
it.

Standard k00k tactic. It's what we live for.

I'm not against having weather in the cockpit. I just figure that, as a
VFR pilot, what I see out the window is what really matters. As long as I
have an out, I'll just continue to fly up to the weather and check it out in
person. Perhaps when cockpit weather becomes cheap enough for this cheap
*******, it'll show up in my cockpit :-))

Having XM WX onboard and integrating the electronic information with
what one sees through the plexi is what makes a inflight decisions to
press on or land important.

It also depends upon where you live (local knowledge) and where you are
flying. In the Eastern US, pop-up storms can sometimes be more severe
than a line of storms. (I was once on a long cross country when pop-ups
turned into a long, broad line of Level 6's.)

When you start out in clear blue and and the little puffies start to
form and become more prevelent with an increasing overcast, it is time
to evaluate your route of flight more thoroughly.

Maybe it's a question of interpretation of the displays, but it's not
just
my two buddies that have the tendency to get on the ground because of what
they see with XM. I've gotten unsolicted XM based advice several times
(just
last month, in fact) when stopping at an airport for fuel. When I
actually
launch, the weather is almost always better than the gloomy XM pilot's
prediction.

Sounds like they have limited experience--both with convective weather and
XM Wx.

I now make trips I would have scrubbed before I got XM Wx five years ago,
simply because I know I can get dynamic, big-picture convective updates on
days when there is a lot of instability. In those five years I've had to
land short and wait only once.

XM Wx has improved my dispatch rate and my piece of mind. I'd certainly
hate to fly here in the SE U. S. without it.

Agreed. However, every now and then he drops clear hints of his real
situation -- like the comment about using flight service.

Real pilots know how utterly useless an in-air weather briefing can be on a
long cross-country flight, when FSS starts blathering on about "strong
thunderstorms located 56 miles on the 223 radial from Clusterfunk VOR" -- as
you're frantically trying to find "Clusterfunk" on one of your sectional
maps that are strewn around the cockpit. And that's the best-case
scenario -- often you can't even get through to them.

Compare this with the incredible utility of having Nexrad radar, with a
satellite overlay, displaying "live" (well, okay, 4 to 9 minutes old) in the
cockpit, showing you precisely what the weather is doing ahead, and it's
easy to spot a pretender.

Only someone who has never actually walked the walk would talk such
nonsense.

Yeah, right, fjukkktard.

Useless to a moron like you, anyway.

Yeah, right.

While Jay does a spot-on imitation of a douchebag. Mind the nozzle...

Nah. Bertie is so totally blinded by the need to slam you, that he will
say anything about every subject to throw a dig your way.

Not that I am saying that your observation is totally wrong, either.

In any case, I still say if we were to totally ignore two people and their
sock puppets (they are really not that hard to pick out) on every subject,
and every post, and every follow-up to their posts, we would soon be rid of
them, and their destruction of this newsgroup.

I fear that will never happen. It seems there are too many people stroking
their egos, with their need to sound knowledgeable about the thread of the
moment.

You're right, of course.

Ever heard of Flight service, fjukkwit?


Bertie

Ever try to raise flight service on a busy day when CB's are popping up
all around? Beyond that, when you're a thousand miles from home and the
FSS is calling out weather boundaries using landmarks you've never heard
of, it is pretty hard to visualize what in the heck they are talking
about.

Bull****, Bertie isn't a troll, he's too stupid. Mx is the troll, Bertie is
just the functional equivalent of a 2 year old, running around hitting
people on the toe with a hammer, because they won't stoop to his level and
play with him. Not to mention the mentality of the sock puppets that suck up
to him. Bertie just attracks that 2% of pilots that are so full of
themselves, they give the other 98% a bad name.

Mx on the other hand lures them in by the dozens. Let's them waste hours
trying to explain (and argue with each other) the most simple concepts, and
then spanks them for being stupid enough to answer him.

Yep! He steps on his ****** all the time. Just no one wants to call bull****
on him, for fear he will dedicate the rest of his (tiny) life to ****ing on
every thread the start, or attempt to join.
