Thrown out of an FBO...

Or, maybe, that you stop making generalizations to people you don't know.
Stereotyping people with little or nothing to go on is something I've seen
before from you. You never really know just who you might be talking to. I'd
say you stepped on it.

At this point the best thing that might happen is that he sits down
with his pilots, and drills into them that they should ALWAYS fill the
courtesy car whenever they use it.

They're just hoping for a discount if they ever decide to visit "Alex's

I am amazed at the number of people defending Jay's insulting behavior.

Watched a show on the KKK the other day. Don't see how you can listen to any
of those guys' opinions without getting ****ed. But, hey...that's just me.

What I am saying is that people should be able to express their
opinions freely without fearing negative reactions or reprimand from
others.

This isn't a racial issue. Charter pilots are from every demographic
and if the statement is true then it's true.

The point is that Jay hasn't seen every charter pilot out there. He's
seen a small sample, and possibly an unusually unrepresentative sample,
who nows? Making a sweeping generalization based on a small sample
isn't usually a good idea.

You can call it a "stereotype" if you wish. I call it "experience."


Would you like to hear my experience with privately owned hotels vs chains?



Ha, ha, ha ... I was thinking the same thing... :-)

True, my comments were inappropriate given his position, and I regret
them. However, aside from the obvious fact that you never, EVER speak
with a customer the way he did, it is common knowledge that (a) most
charter pilots NEVER fill the courtesy car, and (b) we all know they
don't make diddly squat for salary -- which is why those of us who provide
courtesy cars turn the other cheek and continue to let them
borrow our cars.


In other words, you made a joke as a customer to a peer based on your own
experience. He reacted negatively, you tried to make the best of it, he
called you a name (literally...the "Kerry" thing.) Unfortunately, I've
known a couple of belligerent pinheads like that. They have anger management
and security issues and, even when slightly offended they perceive that the
manly thing to do is throw their weight around and verbally abuse people.

Yes, that Kerry comment really was nasty! :-)

Well, Jay, you've definitely been upstaged! :-)

Really...I don't know of anyone refused entrance or kicked out.
California has a much higher tolerance level.

I was with a drunken group that got thrown out of a porno shop in Amsterdam
for laughing at the merchandise. Saw three video titles with the word "virgin"
in them all with a picture of the same actress on the front. The owner
said if we couldn't be serious we'd have to leave.
