It always amazes to hear know it all pilots arguing with the professional pilots.
I mean seriously, this is our job.
We do more tows in a day than they do in a month (year for most).

We *might* have an idea of how this stuff works.
They *might* do well to listen.
Not that they will, mind you... cuz they *know*.

I mean seriously... ridgerodent's going to inform me as to what Kroop has to say on this? Seriously? Steve's a good friend of mine. I've worked at Quest with him. We've had this discussion ... IN PERSON. And many other ones that get misunderstood by the general public. It's laughable.

Don't even get me started on Tad. That obnoxious blow hard has gotten himself banned from every flying site that he used to visit... he doesn't fly anymore... because he has no where to fly. His theories were annoying at best and downright dangerous most of the time. Good riddance.

So, argue all you like.
I don't care.
I've been through all these arguments a million times... this is my job.
I could be more political about it, but screw it... I'm not in the mood to put up with tender sensibilities... Some weekend warrior isn't about to inform me about jack sh*t when it comes to towing. I've got thousands upon thousands of tows under my belt. I don't know everything, but I'll wager the house that I've got it sussed a bit better than an armchair warrior.

Ridgerodent

Are you taking any prescription medications? How is the weather? Got any time to read a little closer?

Jim Rooney

Yeah, weather was kinda cool today... got some flying in actually.

Like I said... I've been through this a thousand times.
You simply assuming that I've not read your posts doesn't make it so.
I just don't agree with you.
I don't have any desire to argue with you.
I can share what I know with you, but I have little interest in arguing about it.

So, if you'd like to know, then I can maybe clear some shitt up.
But, if this is going to continue to be a bashup, I'll just go back to what I do and ya'll can have your nice misinformed arguments.

Ksykes hit it straight on the head.
Please take the cue.

Ridgerodent

Please continue. I am all ears.

I have been trying to fault Tad's logic and so far been unsuccessful.

Jim Rooney

I suspect you ARE Tad.

Ridgerodent

No, but what he writes makes sense to me.

But thanks for the compliment.

Jim Rooney

I'm Member #78142
To whom am I speaking?
I'm an instructor, so I can verify your name/number against the USHPA database.

I've sent you a "pilot connect" message.
If you are Steve Davy, then you'll receive it.

If you're Steve, sorry to be a prick about this.. but since you seem to have read Tad's blatherings, then you will likely also be familiar with why I'm being a prick.

Christopher

A privilege afforded anyone, instructor or no.

Speak to the message- not the messenger (that's what email is for). In this case, the message takes the form of a troll- which you feed and feed and feed and feed...

Jim Rooney

Too right Christopher.
I didn't realize that till after I sent it... which is what the email bit is about of course.
He can claim to be Steve, and maybe he is... but he can't read Steve's email unless he is.

Thus far, I am still awaiting a reply.
I was serious too... he sounds like Tad.

You're right too... at the end of the day, he's a Troll... just as Tad is a huge troll.

Jim Rooney

Nope... drat... just a plain ole troll.
But, an outted troll.
