Again, these guys don't represent 90% of the WMU grads who have good attitudes. There's always that vocal minority... Most of the folks going through the bridge program (some of whom are former students of mine) are humble and appreciative of the opportunity they've been given, and understand that they have a lot to learn.

Son, you need to learn to respect the folks that have a few more gray hairs than you. Flying a plane with 34-70 pax on board is no place to learn how to fly. And sure as heck it isn't the place for an attitude from a newbee. I don't think I know it all, I doubt if Sully thought he knew it all. And a darn well know Check Yeager didn't think he knew it all. Humility is a good trait in pilots.... it keeps us looking for what we have or might screw up.
Sir, my guess is you get it. It seems you have flown a "little" plane hauling boxes. I don't fault folks for trying to get ahead, but unlike you, there are a bunch who think they have flying all sorted out. I won't write off all of your comrades, but they definitely need to show some humility.

If he is a WMU grad and he didn't know that, well it would just be the icing on the cake for this whole pathetic show of "newbie arrogance" that I unfortunately (for me) just caught up on.

Negative Avroman, their location has nothing to do with why I chose it for a forum name. To make one thing clear, I do not have a problem with WMU. All the other schools have their fair share of these attitudes as well. I thought we were done with all this "wonder" stuff, but I guess there will always be those "special" children.

"“Hey tower, I’ve got a question for you,” he said. “This might be crazy, but are we allowed to land on the beach?”
“You know, tower, my engine might be running a little, teensy, teensy bit rough. A little teensy bit rough.”
“What’s the big deal? It happens all the time in Alaska.”
Detective Derienzo replied, “Welcome to New York.”
“Just let us know if we’re up in your grill, you know?”

I'd come up with something clever to say about that... but my head is still spinning... I had to look at 3 different sources just to make sure this story wasn't made up...
