Thrown out of an FBO...

I have to agree. I too flew 135 for years, and quite frankly couldn't afford lunch, let alone gas. I didn't find your comments insulting or untrue. Your comment was simply an expression of your experience. You were not making general statements about charter pilots everywhere, just at your hotel. If he was really offended, maybe the shoe fit? One thing I've learned over the years is that the more defensive a person becomes, the guiltier they feel. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

Or, maybe, that you stop making generalizations to people you don't know. Stereotyping people with little or nothing to go on is something I've seen before from you. You never really know just who you might be talking to. I'd say you stepped on it. mike "Jay Honeck" wrote in message At this point the best thing that might happen is that he sits down with his pilots, and drills into them that they should ALWAYS fill the courtesy car whenever they use it. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Actually he made a generalization about people he did know. He has had contact with charter pilots and courtesy cars. I'd hazard to guess he's has had more contacts in that situation then you or I have had. While his experience does not cover all charter pilots, he does have some data points to back his thoughts. |

"Stubby" wrote Expressing an opinion, a religious view, political stance or sexual preference are now lightning rods for verbal attacks. I'm sorry you got hit, but you did have a good day for the most part. Welcome to the "United States of the Offended." -- Jim in NC |

"Richard Riley" wrote If the Charter Pilot isn't aware that the people in his profession have a bad reputation, he is either a) in insular hermet living in a bubble or b) a moron. Jay did him a favor by letting him know that Charter Pilots are generally cheap, immature, insulting and superior. He then proved the point. Damn! In these few above words, the point was summarized the best, of any of the previous posts. Ded on, Richard! -- Jim in NC P.S. : I'll be damned if I would try, in any way, to win back that guy. If that makes me a bad person, so be it. I don't think I am, and that is what counts, in the long run. |

I realize it's popular today to call any sort of consideration for other people's feelings "politically correct", but really...you guys seem to be making a sport out of the practice. It doesn't matter how polite or "genteel" a person is, being ignorant and prejudiced is still a bad thing. I've known plenty of well-mannered people who nevertheless didn't have a clue when it came to avoiding insulting stereotypes. You haven't spent much time in the mid west. |

You can call it a "stereotype" if you wish. I call it "experience."
Would you like to hear my experience with privately owned hotels vs chains? Sure! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
