UNLINK By: Ward Dossche to Allen Prunty on Sun Jan 20 2008 06:01 pm ALLEN, PLEASE UNLINK THIS IDIOTIC NEWSGROUP FROM THE "AVIATION"-ECHO. WE DO NOT NEED THIS COLLECTION OF INFANTILE NAMECALLERS HERE. THANK YOU FOR COMPLYING WITH THIS FRIENDLY REQUEST. WARD DOSSCHE Ward..., I can't agree more no need to shout. If this is a cross-section of what we currently have piloting the skies then we have a lot to worry with. This is linked to a group that is reputed to have "Professional" pilots in it... and I have seen the following very disgusting unprofessional messages. 1. Making fun and calling the heathrow pilots idiots. I had an old military flight instructor that told me that ANY landing you can walk away from the plane is a good landing... a one that you can reuse the plane is an excellent landing. Those guys are heros in my books... there could have been a lot of deaths. 2. Name calling amongst each other... very awful. 3. And the nastiness... I try to filter the spam and know that occasionally something will slip but I get 95% of it. This is my swan song... this link is removed from Fido... and it saddens me to see so-called "Professional" pilots behaving in this manner. --- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.85 * Derby City LiveWire BBS - Lousiville, KY - telnet://derbycitybbs.com |

Idiots get called names plenty, for good reason.... 3. And the nastiness... Yeah, pro pilots are never nasty RL... Bertie |

Yep; they done real good, in my book, too. I gotta believe they will find a hardware or software glitch somewhere, that caused the engines to crap out at a time that was nearly impossible to detect, and a real bad time to do something about it. They could not have been any more than 15 seconds from a normal touchdown, and less, as it played out-if reports on when the poop hit the wind machine are correct. Those guys are heros in my books... there could have been a lot of deaths. 2. Name calling amongst each other... very awful. Hey, this is the wild west of the internet - newsgroups. There are a lot worse groups than this one. Not that I condone the behaviour, at present. But... , don't condem everyone for a few bad apples. It is really just a few very vocal jerks, driving the behavior lower, and lower. Part of the dynamics at play are that we have one or more mentally disturbed kooks that will not go away, and it has had the place in an uproar for several months now. Good people leave, and kooks that would rather call names seem to replace them, seemingly attracted by the carnage, like vultures at a death. Don't lose all hope. Most here are still good people, at heart. -- Jim in NC |

Most here are still good people, at heart. -- Jim in NC You've hit at the heart of the newsgroup dynamic -- volume and vitriol often overwhelms reason. I feel like I should do an IMSAFE check before logging on. That said, the stupidity is rather easily ignored, and if you can see past some boorish reactions you can glean some food for thought. I won't say "information" because nothing in a newsgroup should be taken as gospel -- especially in aviation. Consider what's written, test it, discuss it with your local peers and experts. But don't fly or operate differently because you read "how to do it" in a newsgroup. Dan |
