I think you'll find this forum is the friendly place to ask genuine questions and receive genuine responses that you remember. Just look at the restraint and maturity demonstrated in this thread when a users first post is inflammatory, unfounded, and quite frankly, just doesn't make any sense.
As you start your aviation career, remember that:
- Pilots rarely win any love from the public unless the airplane they are on is experiencing an emergency.
- Unions do better work at the negotiating table, not in public opinion polls.
- There will always be an anonymous coward that doesn't understand the job taking pot shots from the bleachers.
This forum is no different than "real life", if give respect you'll get respect but at the end of the day you might agree to disagree.

The reason the public gets upset over the pay scales is because they think we work 40 hours a week at 150 per hour. They don't realize that if you can see a pilot he is not getting payed! Don't get payed for preflight, walk arounds, 3 hour productivity sits etc........

Corporate Pilot:
I doubt you're a pilot at all. If you can answer the following basic aeronautical questions and prove to us you're a pilot we'll engage your argument. You'll really make me look like a fool if you answer correctly but I'm willing to risk it! Fair enough? OK, here goes:
1) On which JEPP page is the RNO LOC DME (BACK CRS) Rwy 34L?
2) What are the CAT C mins on the approach?
3) How would you tune the CDI on your HSI to fly this approach?
Good luck. Respectfully,
S.B.

I have a suggestion for our "friend" CorporatePilot.
Why don't you go to an AMA (American Medical Assoc) website forum (similar to this one) and call those Greedy Doctors...........a bunch of overpaid "Butchers"
