Favorite words of a new Lear 24 F/O

Ok,now that things have quieted down a little..the dust has settled...LOL
Guess you should have been there..OLDER model Citation not the 12 seat version, clearly more pax then seats.
And oh I did a preflight this morning..it sat on the ramp all day so it's still good to go..what kind of attitude is that?
I have seen people preflight a Citation and this wasn't it.
But never mind I'm just a dumb CFI what do I know?

Anyway....interesting discussion about this whole whistle blowing thing.
I feel the more we self regulate (as an industry), self police if you will the less interference we need from the outside..FAA,TSA, DOT the whole alphabet soup.
We're not some teamsters union protecting everybody as long as you're with the "in-crowd"...I hope.

I am now headin to bed.

I just want to say. This has been a long ride. I wrote this post this morning, and have been monitoring it all day. It is now 01:00 A.M. EDT. To be honest, I am tired. I take all of your comments very seriously, because I want to learn from various opinions. In fact, I have learned more on this board, from the beginning of my private license, than any CFI. I truly wanted to help. That's why the personal inflammatory attacks were extremely frustrating, and made me use language I would have preferred not to.

But, now that almost 2000 people have read this thread, and 100 have responded, I feel satisfied to some degree that 2000 pilots, most of whom will carry passengers or cargo on a day to day basis, may think of this topic or others like it, and one day when advancing the throttles, save a couple of lives. Seems a bit idealogical, but, my guess is it might actually come out of the cobwebs at the right time.

Good night. And no hard feelings. I know that many of you guys are some of the best **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** pilots out there and have good intentions. My initial tone may not have helped things, but it was unintentional. For the others, that wanted to turn this into a flame, almost as bad as the PFT debate, well, let's hope that you live long enough to get a chance to become one of the best.

Ciao!

Older model Citation so what was a 500, ISP, 550, SII, V, CJ? Don’t know do you, yet you think you know enough about Citations to call his FSDO. I for one am sure glad that jacka$$ like you are around to make sure the skies are safe.

For your info, even the “oldest” Citation a 500 can be fitted to carry 9 passengers (2 pilot seats, 2 rearward facing, 4 club, and a potty seat), and be safely under gross with 2 ½ hours fuel. Here’s a picture of an older one, Ace, http://www.controller.com/listings/...id=1238118&etid=1&OHID=1074167&setype=1&nh=0. Notice you’ve got 9 seats.

Thank you...

Legaleagle, you are exactly correct. You did exactly the right thing reporting them; now you should continue to do the right thing and testify against them. Any douchebag that thinks it's cool to do a roll that close to the ground doesn't need a license. I AM a professional pilot, and I don't want idiots like that sharing my airspace.
I was going into SMX (Santa Maria, CA) many years ago, and I saw a Cub doing aerobatics in the pattern. I questioned the tower about it, and they replied "Oh, that's Ernie...he does this all the time...don't worry". I was not happy, but let it slide. It wasn't 6 weeks later I saw an article about the "tragic loss" of "Cub Ernie". Stall/spin in the pattern. What a suprise. They went into great detail about his "legendary prowess" with a Cub. I was beyond disgust, with myself as much as anyone. I should have reported the moron, and the tower controller as well.
I learned a lesson, and you all should too...safety first, or look for a different profession.

A "barrel roll", huh?

Sounds to me like the guy who was doing the reporting didn't even know the difference between a barrel roll and an aileron roll.

Not sticking up for bad decision making (if it happened at all) but you seem like you aren't much of a qualified observer.

How about this- the next time you taxi out to the active at an uncontrolled airport, and then fire up your radio for the first time as you're taking the runway (my pet peeve) I turn you in for careless and reckless and let you spend the next two years fighting for your certificate?

Again, no one here is advocating doing what you think you saw, but the fact that out of all the people who allegedly saw it, you are the one that initiated this whole thing makes you look like a sanctimonious piece of crap.

Ya know what I think is kinda ironic about this whole thread?

My experience only;

Guy does a high speed low pass down the runway in his Swift let's say, and tops it off with a "victory roll" at the departure end, half the guys on the field think he's hot sh!t.

Same guy a week later accidently cuts one of 'em off on final, causing a go-around, and the same folks are ready to beat the hell out of him or call the Feds.

I'm not sure who the bigger A-hole is...the lear driver(s) or legalb*tch. Dude, if the guy really rolled it (I doubt his story) in front of the tower, they'll report it. Don't worry your pretty little head over it. You sounded sooo proud of yourself in your initial post. Of course, IF it's true, then the lear guys should get their collective asses kicked. I question legalboy-wonder's credibility. He seems to throw his resume around a bit too much...

Wait a second...I don't get it; there's a post with more than 50 replies and not ONE of them concerns that whole Delta/DALPA/Comair/ASA/RJDC/Scope thing?

AND, there's no Mesa, Skywest, or Chautaqua bashing, nothing about Jesus, God or chemtrails, and I don't think one post had the phrase "lowering the bar" or "race to the bottom".... I think I'm on the wrong board, this just can't be flightinfo without all that stuff.

Here, let me point it in the right direction.

Your Mom's a SCAB!!!!

Alrighty then, I feel better. Carry on.

What's the difference between a "barrel roll" and an "aileron roll"? Never done aerobatics and it didn't come up while flying my C152 during the private.

Would you like to to declare over the radio whenever I move from where I am? Now 55 ft down Taxiway Alpha, 60 ft down Taxiway Alpha, 65ft down Taxiway Alpha, ect? Unless you cross another runway, why would you bother making a call? The aircraft that need to use the radio don't want to know that you are now turning into the runup area.

Also, there is a difference between reporting someone for an unsafe practice and harrassment.

Comparing a "victory roll" at low altitude in a swift with no pax and in a Leer with a FO and pax is like the difference between playing russian roulette with a pistol and a 2,000 lb bomb. One I don't give much about because it is darwin at work, the other can kill others that I actually give a d4mn about.
