What Happened

[Deep Throat II]

[/QUOTE]By your posts I can see you are outspoken,intelligent and will probably be branded as a overtalker and sianara dinaro.

Work on being mundane and boring with a short attention span and limited vision and you may do well.

If anything the people I have met in this industry are anything but that, who are you hangin' out with that you get this impression Mr Edge?, If it's Flamboyant and eccentric personalities you crave, I have 2 words for you VEGAS SHOWGIRLS.

Mr. Thoat II

To begin with I am not a pilot, have no desire to be a pilot ,i do however believe that you may want to be honest and upfront with the Dufster. Tell him what his actual chances are given his outspoken capacity as he has demonstrated here. Expalin to him the "no guarentees" philosophy that can sum up the totality of the matter.

or

Lead him on to believe that he will get a job after he finshes his licence so he can pay back the debt he incurred that will prevent his family from having to move into low income housing. With what ,100 hours on a robby! Mr. Throat get your head out of your ass and simply tell the truth.

Pilots are expected to keep thier mouths "shut" , offer no opinions and especially don't piss off the guy with the bigger ego. Tell Dufster the truth Mr. Throat instead of some convoluted "I have a good attitude" industry hoo haa.

Are you sure you are not running a flight school Throat II?

Duf, although you deams to fly may be genuine and the yerning to go airborn is strong, don't throw your money down the drain. If you don't believe me call any flight school you want and even ask them if they could give you a PPC after the training and a few hours here and there to build time, get it in writting and come back here and tell me I am full of it!

 

[Deep Throat II]

No I don't run a flight school and #### if my positive attitude pisses you off then golly I have succeded, what happened did your wife run away with a pilot, and if you are not a pilot why the bad attitude towards the industry? Couldn't cut the Mustard?

Mr. Throat 2

No my wife didn't run off with a pilot, and if your objective is to piss me off well then you have just precisely defined what I was trying to explain to the Dufster. Don't piss off the guy with the bigger ego!

Duff this industry is full of people like Mr. Throat who are incapable of defending thier argument and make statements that provide no clear answer to a question. If you disagree you are accused of having a bad attitude. As much sense a this makes well.....

Perhaps the dufster ought to do a survey and ask the flight school he plans on attending for a statement in writting allowing him to build some hours and get a PPC. The letter must not have the phrase "no guarentees" included. Let's let this survey be the judge, anyone want to place a bet? any takers?

Spend your money wisely Mr. Duff. The engineering side has been good to me for the last 8 years but I have seen many up and commers get very disappointed after spending all that dough and have nothing to show afterwords other than a useless R22 rating.( and it had nothing to do with cutting it!) You should consider engineering, the money is better and you are alot more valued and indisposable. In addition the engineers, and we have some characters are a much easier group of individuals to get on with. BCIT has a good Program.

Whatever you decide, good luck!

 

[Deep Throat II]

Au contraire mon frere I know a heck of allot of pilots who are Valued and Indisposable, good pilots and Engineers are extremely hard to come by, Oh and which question did you ask the only thing I saw in you post was bitterness, Unfortunately I have met a few Leadingedge's in my day as you will too Duf, you'll learn to except them for what they are..............

 

[MagSeal]

Leading edge, check your spelling on your "hetrogenious" It still doesn't compute as anything...

I just want to repeat what I said back in the Flight Instruction and Training forum. A guy who finished getting his CPL last year is now flying 206s 10 hours a week. This was just another 100 hour pilot with 10 hours in a 206. He went looking for a possible ramp rat position at the most, and was in the right place at the right time. Bada-Bing. I know this is extemely rare, but shows getting a CPL isn't always a futile undertaking.
On the engineer side of things I've heard it can tough to crack into as well. A friend of mine is dying to become an AME but has had a hell of a time. Besides not having the cash for the schooling, he said it's hard to even get into a school unless you are already an apprentice. But then many work places won't take you on as an apprentice unless you have prior experience. I could be, and probably am totally wrong so my apologies if I am.
I'll agree with you a certain point about how valued a good AME is. But it's all relative. An AME probably is more valued than a low time pilot doing repo runs a few days a week. But pit an engineer against a 15,000 hour pilot and I think things even out. Just my opinion. 😉

 

[leadingedge]

Magseal I apologize for the spelling oversight you are correct the spelling "heterogenous"

When the spell check is added we may want to suggest to the admin that he finds a good one.

The answer to the question remains the same.


The guy that got the 206 job was exteremely lucky, this is by no means the average case.

 

[duf]

Hey don't put me in the center of this...
LEADING EDGE
I am not concerned with the employability of myself... I have enough drive/ambition etc. to find a job... I have never understood whiners who #### and moan they can't find a job... You've been given the training... the rest is up to you!
So 1500+ pilots must be grown or cloned... No one who gets their CPL gets a job. (?!)
Oh by the way. I am 24 years old, a cable guy and a former IT student.
I don't intend to married. I want to be nomadic. I want to see the world. Money isn't too important to me. I want adventure. I love being in the air
Why wouldn't I want this job?
Try working three years as a cable guy.
I damn near got fondled by an underwear wearing, hairy handicapped man today. I am knee deep in cat piss and dirty laundry daily.

Ramp rat for a couple years sounds pretty f'ing good. If I end up flying sooner; that's icing on the cake!

Naysayers never seem objective enough.. just bitter!

I've looked into BCIT and it seems like a great program...
Let's say in the years to come I am contract flying.. Wouldn't be hard to knock a 2-4 year program off.
Thats my two cents

 

[Over-Talk]

Leadingedge,
It's your choice, but you may wish to write your post in Microsoft Word and have it spell-checked, and then cut-and-paste it to here.
It would avoid such errors as.....
Expalin, Guarentees, Finshes, Thier, Deams, Yerning, Airborn, and writting
...in you recent post.
Your poor spelling abilities do not bother me. I'm sure it does not affect your professional abilities as an engineer.

What does concern me is your very negative attitude to Ryan and Duf. They have been at this site long enough to realise that getting a job in this industry is not easy.
ALL helicopter pilots have one thing in common.......we all had 100 hours and wet ink on our licences at one stage of our careers,..........just like apprentices coming out of trade school.
But we perservered, got lucky, call it what you will, but someone has to do the job, so it may as well be Ryan or Duf.
Frankly, their attitudes and manners would be alot more welcome around the hangar I work at than yours would be.

OT

P.S. I notice a striking resemblence between your spelling, attitude, and job and that of TACHBOX, (who delighted several of us by announcing he was leaving us).
Is this just a coincidence or what ??

 

[Over-Talk]

What happened ???????
First there was Deep Throat,
Now there's Deep Throat II.

How come????
Even you-know-who changes his name more than that when he re-registers.
Couldn't you at least change your Avatar of Selma Simpson to that of Patty so that we wouldn't have realised you were actually the same person ?????????

 

[Deep Throat II]

Sorry OT yes Deep Throat and DTII are actually me I was hoping to confuse some but this has not worked (ARRRRGHH) actually this was done out of necessity as I wasn't able to log-on as The original DT, DTII will try and uphold the standards brought by the original, as for now DT shall rest with the other fallen commrades, TACHBOX, P-IC, Leadi...... whoa (Typing Error) sorry.


Nice post by the way Duf, I did not mean to drag you into this thing with Leadedge, just didn't want you gettig discouraged is all.

Deep Throat II

 

[duf]

I LOVE IT
I can't wait to get in the pilots seat!
Within the next few weeks, my deposit and registration will be on (unnamed training school, BC)'s desk!!!!!!
So long climbing poles and stepping in dog ####!
Ciao to pitbulls chasing my ass with a toolbelt on
F%%% you to the rotting houses i work in!!!!

 

[leadingedge]

Mr. Overtalk, Mr. Throat II and his side kick Throat I,

You should know that I do not have a negative attitude, but infact have a "realistic attitude", unlike yourselves I have difficulty with dreamland and the world of delusion.

I have suggested that Mr Ryan and Duf ask for letter requesting that the money spent would not be in vain. As noted here you have avoided this subject concerning the infamous "no guarentees methodology" and have instead as expected entered into a finger pointing campagne.

I am now considering opening a flight school as clearly the exitement of flight far outbalances the grounds of common sense and fiscal responsibility. The name of the flight school will be the "NO GUARANTEES FLIGHT SCHOOL" Clearly even in wake of the facts business will boom.

Thanks for the insight!

Oh and duf being only 24 gives you the opportunity to wait for that job- good luck! Any chance for free cable before you take leave?

 

[Deep Throat II]

Edge you should know more than anyone, in life there are no GUARANTEES, except for two, why should a flight school have to give a guarantee, does any University, trade or technical school offer such guarantees?
Waiting on baited breath The Throat....
