How many students have run into this type of
aviation personality, let's face it guys their are ALOT of them,...and said what a bunch of jerkwads and never gone back? Does the self proclaimed " God of the sky" egos play a role in drop outs? Wow, that's a hot button topic. Without effort I can name several guys at our airport that fit the "I am God" pilot description to a "T". One in particular simply loves to let everyone know that his knowledge of aviation, aircraft, and all things mechanical is superior to everyone on the planet. (Actually, it may be, but that's beside the point), and he has a particularly snide and nasty way of doing it. Woe unto any new student who should stumble into this guy, because not only will he come away with the attitude that all pilots are assh*les, but he will be made to believe that the learning curve in aviation is far steeper than it really needs to be. The rest of us have learned to live with the guy (he actually does know a lot, and -- if you can suffer through the attitude -- it's usually possible to learn something around him), but it's not been easy. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
