dashtrash300,
There was one cogent idea on the table when I elected to participate in this discussion. I also declared my intent to not be contemptuous.
I was talking about stabilized approaches and mathematics of the aforementioned examples.
5100 feet/5 miles= 1020 ft/mile x 110 knots / 60 = 1870 feet per minute.
I never mentioned the word "stupid," you did. I never made an inference.
I never mentioned renumeration; you did.
Safety has "everything to do" in [our] industry...at least that is my viewpoint.
Fly safe, and I wish you the best with your aspirations.

Blah Blah Blah, I fly a jet and someone in a prop made fun of me. Who cares? Don't you have anything better to itch about? Seems like you are really the only one upset here. I doubt the guy in the Dash ever even thought twice about it.

Gee thanks Mr. Corporate Captain. I sure am glad you clarified that for me. I am just a simple dash 8 pilot. Who knew they had such a fancy word for "pay."

I was apologizing and clarifying.
Not trying to be loquacious either.
Take care and fly safe.

This thread borders on the silly.
Everyone flubs up on the radio from time to time. Sometimes people make comments that they shouldn't.
I stepped on somebody and told the controller "sorry" when I checked in. Some smumg jerk says "he would get eaten alive at EWR". As much as I wanted to tell him "yeah, thats why I go to LGA instead." I didn't. It made me mad but I got over it.

Not really, especially from the right seat for the same pay as the leftovers in the right seat of the Saab....(unfortunately it looks like that will be where I sit soon too so...)

Really?
Here is a funny little story that happened to me at CLT. We are holding short of E2 on E near the approach end of RW 36C waiting for departure. There are 2 ways to access the runway, continue on E or E2. There is an Airbus holding short on E and E2 is free. We are holding short of E2 because we have not been instructed which taxiway we will use to enter the runway. Tower tells a regional behind us to hold short of 36C on E2. The regional acknowledges the instructions then asks the tower if he would ask the "Slowtation" to pull ahead so they can have access. Of course the controller asks us to move forward. I respond "sure, but I wouldn't call Mach .92 slow"! After a few seconds pause the other pilot replies in a little "I just upgraded to Captain voice " 250 below 10". I know it was the Captain who responded because further transmissions from this aircraft was a female/different voice. At this point I decide not to dignify his response and drop the banter. As we continue on E and are now holding short of 36C, I am able to look over to my right and see who was calling us slow. It was a DASH 8!! Are you kidding me??? We operate Citation X's. First off I would like to say that his initial comment was unprofessional and if your going to attempt to insult another aircraft, you should definitely be flying something more sophisticated and faster.
