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" |

They're just hoping for a discount if they ever decide to visit "Alex's
Park-in". mike "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... I am amazed at the number of people defending Jay's insulting behavior. |

Watched a show on the KKK the other day. Don't see how you can listen to any
of those guys' opinions without getting ****ed. But, hey...that's just me. mike "Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message What I am saying is that people should be able to express their opinions freely without fearing negative reactions or reprimand from others. |

This isn't a racial issue. Charter pilots are from every demographic and if the statement is true then it's true. The point is that Jay hasn't seen every charter pilot out there. He's seen a small sample, and possibly an unusually unrepresentative sample, who nows? Making a sweeping generalization based on a small sample isn't usually a good idea. Matt |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... True, my comments were inappropriate given his position, and I regret them. However, aside from the obvious fact that you never, EVER speak with a customer the way he did, it is common knowledge that (a) most charter pilots NEVER fill the courtesy car, and (b) we all know they don't make diddly squat for salary -- which is why those of us who provide courtesy cars turn the other cheek and continue to let them borrow our cars. In other words, you made a joke as a customer to a peer based on your own experience. He reacted negatively, you tried to make the best of it, he called you a name (literally...the "Kerry" thing.) Unfortunately, I've known a couple of belligerent pinheads like that. They have anger management and security issues and, even when slightly offended they perceive that the manly thing to do is throw their weight around and verbally abuse people. Yes, that Kerry comment really was nasty! :-) Matt |

I was with a drunken group that got thrown out of a porno shop in Amsterdam for laughing at the merchandise. Saw three video titles with the word "virgin" in them all with a picture of the same actress on the front. The owner said if we couldn't be serious we'd have to leave. -- Scott Post |
