If I had only known how cool and special it is to make a career as a corporate pilot. Jeeze. I am so confused and conflicted now. :confused: :D

So the guy loves what he does and shares it. Big deal. I don't find it toolish. Every single one of us has plenty of photos and probably some videos of some of the flying we've done. And if you were truly a Rhino driver I know you have your I love me space somewhere. I think you guys are being tools for picking on him. Let's move on to some real tools please.

No. He's a tool because he's putting his personal details out on the internet, filming in flight, etc. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Sooner or later (maybe) these millennials will figure out that there's very little upside to sharing every details of one's life online.

I like this:
"I'm not saying I won't go to the airlines......"
"I've got an app in at Delta, but......blah, blah"

I just hope all this seniority he's losing blogging, sitting by the pool in the DR and chasing down catering is worth it.

With 230k views on one video I guarantee he's making some coin from ads.

Posting personal info is foolish, not toolish. You have no videos of yourself in the Eagle? Just sayin. . .

Sure, but I'm not putting them on the internet. Big difference.

I guess I never felt the need to validate my career choices via the internet and effectively say "look at me, look at me, I need attention". Hey, if he's making some money via ads, great. Still think he's a tool and video is right where it belongs. JMO

I'm sure he does. But he's not posting them on the internet for all to see without hiding his identity while at the same time bashing a job he wants. Just sayin...

I get it. I'm exactly the same. But this kid gets a pass from me. He's excited about aviation and loves it. Not my style posting online videos of what I do and have done but to me it's not toolish if others do. My two cents. Now bring on the tools.

The difference of opinion may arise from military pilots' scorn for any kind of self-promotion. It's OK to think you are the ace of the base, but woe to you if you say it. :cool:

You have your opinions. I have mine. I disagree.
Nope. No love me space either.
Oh, and welcome to the TOTD club. Your little rant reply earned you an honorary membership today.
FYI: Rhino Pherret is not the driver postion. But then the folks that have been in a Rhino already know this.

This. Some people cant help themselves.

A rant? You think that was a rant? Lighten up, Francis. TOTD? For having a different opinion? You sir, merit tool of the day.

You are so silly. :D

I hated it on the last aircraft. Someone on the ground forgot to fill up the Chemtrails bottles. FO went to switch them on and got nothing. Had to do a blasted FAA write up on it.

I call shenanigans on this post, TransWorld.
Everybody knows you can't dispatch without full chemtrails bottles.
Next time don't try so hard to impress us!:D

It's not even an MEL-able item. Come on, man. Do your country proud and always set for max flow rate. With 4-holers being retired we all have to do our part to ensure maximum coverage.

I have even heard of lines where some of the flights are without passengers, just to get full coverage. The are called 'repositioning', but we all know the real purpose.

(Now isn't this more fun than reading about TOTDs?)

Does anyone really still think the chem-trails thing is funny? Or even remotely amusing? Or really anything at all besides a stale, worn-out, unoriginal, meme? Enough already

Yes.

If only my neighbor hadn't asked me about it, you might have had a point.
:rolleyes:

I agree - I could not sit through more than 30 seconds of his videos, but hell, being able to make that kind of crap is what makes America great. Nobody forces you to watch. ;)

Yes : ).....,!!!

Are you kidding? It's STILL hilarious!

To your first point:
Absolutely!
To your second:
Not a chance!

Lighten up, Francis.

Anything is better than the global climate warming change quagmire!:p

To answer you: YES!

I would except the idiocy is not dying out.

I think it's one of those awareness items for maybe like a crazy chick ambushing you with her camera while deplaning and immortalizing you on youtube.

Crazy chicas I can handle. Whacked out dudes in 32A throwing a punch after seeing some flap vortices in humid air on landing are another thing.

Agreed, but did you just say "quagmire?" :confused:

GIGGITY!! :D

"The government doesn't allow me to talk about that"
Works great.

Indeed, he did!

Just too priceless not to share:

Maybe we did go the same HS? When he gets worked up & says, "stopping it is like shoveling chit against the tide," almost had a little incident myself. Then the comments after. No way to make all that up… hitting us hard here in Canada too, left a gray film of fiberglass & aluminum particles on my back yard, worried about my pets:eek:

Soooooo im going to go out on a limb here.

I suspect that its guys like the one in the video, is the reason we are so scientifically illiterate in the US. These people use pseudoscience to make their arguments. They try to fit the facts into their preconceived ideas. If a fact doesn't fit it must be discarded.

Here is a thought, let the verifiable facts guide you to the answer. Not shove facts into far fetched ideas.

Of course, not going to happen and we are left with flat earthers, and chemtrail experts, etc.

On the flip side. These clowns provide endless entertainment :D

snitches get stitches

2 thoughts about chemtrail memes and scientific illiteracy...

1. Chemtrail jokes will be funny as long as there are chemtrail conspiracy theorists.

2. People who lack a real scientific explanation for an observed phenomena will almost always come up with something to explain what they have observed. In the way back past, various mythological deities or magic would be behind unexplainable things. God being sort of unfashionable nowadays, pseudo-science is the inevitable result.

I've seen the same thing in numerous other countries, so it's not just the US. For example, some of the pseudoscience being invented wherever the US is conducting high-tech combat ops is quite creative, trying to explain how we are doing what we're doing...

This video alone is worth a brand new thread. Wow!


Now does anyone have a TOOL report?

Today I'm nominating myself as the tool of the day for taking the time to read through the last 7 pages of this thread hoping it was going to improve.

There are still a handful of aviators at a certain bus operation so happy with low-tier pay and a 2-yr overdue contract that they refuse to wear their ALPA lanyards to support their NC. Talk to them and they seem normal, but there's clearly something very tool-ish lurking in there somewhere.

^^^ This. How hard is it to wear a fracking lanyard?

Wear it *in addition* to your favorite sports team / branch of the armed services / whatever lanyard if you have to. That will just make it stand out even more, which is kind of the point, right?

Some people just don't get it
