No need to worry, she got her looks and brains from her mother.

I asked because your posts are hard to read and the .......nerve wracking. I knew she would enjoy the break from the more serious stuff.


I spared you the full critique. ;-)

I don't know, something is fishy here, let's try some logic:

Premise (1)
If, as you say, she enjoyed her break by reading my post, my post must have caused her to enjoy her break. Things that cause one to enjoy one's break are enjoyable. Ergo, she enjoyed reading my post.

Premise (2)
Daughters will sometimes not tell the truth to please their fathers.
Because of its content, R-57s daughter knew her father would be displeased if she reported she enjoyed the post.

But by premise (1) she enjoyed the post.

Ergo, she did not tell R-57 the truth when she said the post was awful.

Conclusion: R-57 has been deceived by his daughter.

My daughter is an editor and above my intellectual level for sure. I couldn't do more than skim/speed read one of wiggy's posts. I sent her the .....diatribe. One word reply-awful.
And my son is a PHD and my daughter is an attorney so really my good man what is your point? I just a lowly Embry Riddle guy.

I would say more along the lines of hitting a nerve rather than nerve wracking

My point is that a pro says his writing sucks.

Nope, your writing skills suck. At least here. Narcissistic much?

Want to answer my question now?

Seeing as how the man is a professional pilot and not a professional writer I would have to take that from her with a grain of salt provided its even the truth. This is but only one persons opinion and that too has to be taken with that grain of salt considering the source. I would say have her write about in the editors column that way we can all enjoy her assessment of his writing! Wiggy you up for that??

Oh I answered your question because Wiggy may not know the full jest of what the east is doing and have done. See Wiggy Relay and his crowd want and have thus far revamped their careers at the expense of west pilots. They have been able to take their jr pilots that were days from furlough and elevate them to captain while refusing to honor our arbitration which allowed management to take working west pilots on the day of the merger and furlough them while allowing east pilots that were furloughed the day of the merger to take jobs here. All this at the expense of west pilots AND due to the east not honoring their word period.

Now you will hear realy justify this by saying they followed the TA but we all know that if complete and utter donkey $hit. The TA was never ever designed to allow one group from honoring AN ARBITRATION RESULT. So when you hear west pilots and now pilots from other carriers refer to them as scabs it is because they like a scabs take jobs from working pilots to benefit themselves. The stench of what they have done will never ever be forgotten and there is not enough justification in the world to explain what they have done. They begged and pleaded for that arbitration and they got it. They begged and pleaded for George Nicalou and they got him. The east will for ever in my mind hold the title of scab for the very reason I have explained above.

Apparently you don't really understand what a scab is and you toss that term around too easily.

-I likewise accept this as true. Combined with statement (1) we are now convinced that either:

a) Any intellectual capabilities R-57 possesses are not passed on as a heritable trait.

Or:

b) R-57 does not possess intellectual capabilities...such that they might be passed on as a heritable trait.


Statement (3)

"...your posts are hard to read..."

-The difficulty you experience in comprehending my posts makes it likely that Statement (2)(b) is true, ie. "R-57 does not possess intellectual capabilities..."

Statement (4)

"Your writing skills suck"

-In light of the truth of statements (1),(2), and (2)(b) very little credence can be given to this statement.

Corollary: The fact that it was proved earlier with irrefutable logic that R-57's daughter enjoyed reading Wiggy's post, and was successful at deceiving her father about such enjoyment...lends further truth-value to statement (2)(b) above ("R-57 does not possess intellectual capabilities")

Grand finale conclusions:

1) R-57 does not possess intellectual capabilities.

2) A professional editor finds Wiggy's posts enjoyable, and therefore good.
