Firstly we have every flavour of aviation professional here, not just pilots. For the years I've been flying, my hours are frankly pretty low.īut, I like to feel that I belong here, can contribute, and I certainly get much more than a hobbyists benefit (despite flying being also very much my hobby, as well as my job) and I'm sure that there are others like me. For much of that time I've had professional pilots working for me, or alongside me.įlying has never been my full time job, and the odds are that it never will be. I've not worked outside of aerospace since 1988 (whether I've done much useful work inside it is a healthy debating point of-course :E). On the other hand, I have a professional licence, and I have been paid to do a job of work in an aeroplane from time to time since about 1989. I'm one of the more prolific posters on PPrune - it maintains my sanity to a large extent when beaten to death by management meetings, which are to an annoyingly large extent my lot these days. Sorry for the waffle, but I love all things aviation, just never got there. Long may these as I see "real" pilots, not just jobbing pilots with no love of flying etc continue to provide fantastic and extremely interesting feedback on forums like this. I can contact a pilot of Qatar Airways currently on B777 but looking at moving to A380 etc.īut I wouldn't have a clue about flying apart from 2 trial lessons in a Cessna 150, and being allowed to handle a cherokee.īut to read some of the posts by -411 etc, well, they set my mind racing! The love and interest shown in aviation, the complexities of the aircraft flown and some of the highly detailed answers to some of the enthusiasts questions (mine included) is mind blowing. I read books about aviation on a regular basis, have the jet engines - Rolls Royce book, books on the operating systems of the A380 and how to fly it etc. I have a very great interest in aviation, having flown DC3's, viscount 700, Caravelle 12, Dassault Mercure, Antonov 24, Ilyushin 62-86 and Tupolev 134 + 154 to name a few in the past. The same here- when somebody claims to have flown anything what has wings and scored 20-30 thousand hours and has simultany thousands of postings here being every day present you can move forward without further thinking about it.īut thats the spirit of an open forum, why not ! and such a player would have better to do than playing for hours on a free server every day so you can be sure the nick plays via a good chess computer. and there are players who have an elo rating - due to their games they made on the server that they could easily start in a international championship. I like ( dont laugh) to play chess online with other people. this issues are not covered in a computer game. aviation fans sometimes have a stunning knowledge when it comes to technical questions since civil aviation is not a secret and when you have the time and joy to search the net deeply you can learn a lot.īut you see it when you discuss the annoying small things you have every day earning your money sitting in a cockpit- bad rostering, stupid slots, private problems when you are barely home. i think depending on the kind of discussion you can see it quickly.
