Get a lawyer. - realGIVPbusted Thu, 25 Jan 2007 19:54:40 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6361 Maybe I´ve been too hard on you, but I just get the impression that there are a lot of hotshot jet pilots out there who wouldn´t know the difference between West Palm and Lantana if the electronics went out. I get that impression by observing. And listening. - Rick Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:54:42 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6359 tenha um dia agradável - realgivp Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:09:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6358 を見張る, 警戒する - realgivp Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:05:54 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6357 Quem dera. - Rick Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:56:53 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6356 My wife has reminded me that I am jousting windmills with toothbrushes again, all for a friend on the east coast. If I remember someone said “just because you are posting doesn’t mean you are communicating with me”. So I’m going to listen to that one intelligent sentence that person has ever said on this board and go tilting off on another target. So, have fun, sit back in your Catalina house, dreaming of flying a 707 one last time all dressed up in your little captains uniform. And when you wake up head out predatorily late at night to spend your shill money from Embraer and your blood money from Excelaire. - realgivp Tue, 02 Jan 2007 12:53:40 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6348 Thanks for the Happy New Year´s (what´s the possessive for?), sorry I´m late, it´s two a.m. here. The buses stop running about midnight, thousands of people on the streets, no one stops for traffic lights after midnight because of the danger of being robbed, most of the taxi drivers seem drunk. Everyone just having a good time. Once I was walking in L.A. and a cop stops and says, what´s wrong? And I say, Nothing. Why? And he says, Well, you were walking.... But here lots of people walk. The Kombis and vans are still running, though. Kombis are like the old VW buses but this last year they put water cooled, more powerful engines in them and they really go. I do feel good about myself. Especially after reading your post. But this whole thing of a few people using this blog to sort something out, not sure just what, vis-a-vis part 135 types, is getting boring. Then there´s the guy trying to sell a new avoidance system. Do yourself a favor, have the kid with the tug take you over to the big hangar and check your hot sections. - Rick Mon, 01 Jan 2007 03:16:11 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6341 Gee, rick you don’t sound like you are in Brazil anymore?? What’s up dude?? Get relocated by Embraer or Excelaire??? You have come in on the end on my posts with Excelaire employees masquerading under false pretensions on this board trying to figure out who I really am. The only reason I posted those things was to show that I was legitimate. Being a pilot is what I DO, NOT who I am. But you don’t understand that because you are really talking about yourself. I hit the nail on the head and told everyone here how you act and who you are. You could be 7 feet tall but you are one of those guys who lacks self esteem and runs around telling people that you fly so that you can feel better about yourself. I forever see you as a strutting 5’4” little man in his pathetic epaulets and airline hat trying to make everyone think that you are great and a BIG man because you are a PILOT and a CAPTAIN. Got to run, but you feel free to post tonight around midnight since you have nothing better to do and no one to go do it with. I imagine you don’t have any friends either. So post later at midnight so you can feel good about yourself like you did when you posted on Christmas. - realgivp Sun, 31 Dec 2006 21:21:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6339 Real ranchers don´t brag about how many acres or steers they have. I don´t hear Brazilian pilots bragging about how many hours they have logged. Or assuring us that they are smart. Real Gee-whiz pilot. Punching holes in the IFR with one of Paulsen´s Pet Projects. How did you feel when Cessna came out with a faster jet than the one you fly? Everyone knows that the fun is gone even from the airlines. For corporate types, it´s wait, wait, wait for Mr. Big and lose your slot, check the bar to make sure his favorites are there, wait, wait, he shows up, kick the tire and light the fire. For taxi work, it´s flying celebs that for all your hours and ratings put you on the same general level as the limo driver. Cancel IFR, five mile stright in over camelback, there´s the ranch over on the right, spend the night at the Radisson and phone home with an excuse why you can´t get back for your daughter´s birthday party. How´s your own personal plane doing? - Rick Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:06:19 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6337 LOL That's it??? For all your eloquence that’s it??? How about addressing what your agenda is here??? I notice you did not refute that you work for Embraer and that you are acquainted with and possibly working with Excelaire. I feel you are the guy that you described in your post above. I can see you now in your uniform with captain’s stripes and hat walking around all over the airports, parking lots, supermarkets, getting a paper just showing off to the world that you are a PILOT. And when not in uniform you are one of those loudmouth idiots spouting off in the bars, on the street corner and every time you meet someone new that you are a PILOT and a CAPTAIN blah, blah, blah blah, blah……… Guess what? Real pilots know that your type is the worst pilots, know the least and make the most mistakes. - realgivp Sun, 31 Dec 2006 14:05:33 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6335 The above comment may help readers understand why discerning pilots who have to spend much time in the pilots´ lounge should take their ear plugs with them and not leave them in the cockpit. - Rick Sat, 30 Dec 2006 23:33:01 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6325 1.I don’t work for Excelaire. 2.I have more jet time than either pilot has total time. 3.I don’t work for Excelaire. 4.I have had an Initial International procedure course. 5.I don’t work for Excelaire. 6.I have had many recurrent International procedure courses. 7.I don’t fly a Legacy. 8.I’m not Joe Sharkey. 9.I flew in Brazil and knew what I was doing. 10.I don’t work for Excelaire. 11.I don’t work for Embraer in Brazil like Rick. (Are you the one Excelaire deals with buying the Legacys??) (For those of you who don’t know Excelaire is buying at least 2 more Legacys from what I’ve been told). 12.I haven’t had any mid air collisions because I know what I’m doing. 13.I haven’t killed 154 innocent people 14.I don’t work for Excelaire. 15.If I was either pilot I would know enough to keep my mouth shut because I would know that I was part of the problem and not completely innocent as they are running around claiming. 16.I’m not Joe Sharkey. 17.Most importantly, I don’t work for Excelaire!!! 18.I’m not Rick, ch.c, me, stormin Norman, norm the pilot or smokedsalmon BTW I don’t work for Excelaire! So am I sooooooo smart???? …………………. YES I AM! - realgivp Sat, 30 Dec 2006 03:56:15 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6324 Those poor pilots. I hope their employer is providing mental health care for them and their families. - Scarlet Sat, 30 Dec 2006 03:15:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6323 Oh Rick... you disappoint me. Perhaps you didn't review the entire case. Worse yet, what on earth would posess you to assume for one second that that was my best shot??? HAH!!!!! No, buddy, my best shots are being saved for those who can actually DO something to stop scam artists like those responsible for this horrible tragedy. Get off the board and go bottom fish for a 135 trip for Excelaire. Oh, and if I may, I'd like to take the liberty of suggesting that you change your screen name to LegacyWannabe? Mmmmmm... no.... wait.... I've got it... G3Replacement. - smokedsalmon Sat, 30 Dec 2006 01:49:06 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6322 That´s your best shot against the company? That they lost a case over breach of contract where a pilot was supposed to stay longer than he did after receiving training? Before I looked it up, I thought, maybe they hire illegal aliens to paint their planes. Maybe they had a tax problem. Maybe unreported contracts with Evergreen. Or used wing bolts with no paper trail. What an anticlimax. - Rick Fri, 29 Dec 2006 23:26:05 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6320 Stormin' Norman, you are doing some stinkin' thinkin'. Why don't you wrestle your head out of your ass and take a look at some perspectives that differ from yours. I'll be the first to admit that I definitely do not agree with all that has been posted here, but in particular, I disagree with you and your small-minded, petty point of view. What can you possibly stand to gain from bashing an individual posting on this board unless you have a personal vendetta against said person? Why are you so blatantly ignoring some rather irrefutable facts? Seems to me that the combination of errors made by improperly trained Brazilian ATC; untrained pilots; and Excelaire's failure to provide that training are what you should be looking at. The Brazilian ATC who was totally incapable of performing his job duties has already been raked quite thoroughly over the coals and has effectively been rendered nothing more than a charred, smoldering ruin of a man. By being forceably detained, the pilots have paid dearly for their lack of knowledge - plus they have to live with their new, and I'm sure, unwelcome, knowledge that they were in no way trained properly in international procedure and, as a result, now have to live with the deaths of 154 men, women and children on their conscience. Perhaps the most disgraceful of all is Excelaire Company of New York who completely refuses to accept responsibility for their part. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Excelaire seems to me to be one of those shifty, fly-by-night (pardon the pun) companies that any self-respecting professional pilot would refuse to fly for. Perhaps you, Stinkin Stormin Norman, might want to reference Supreme Court Justice Doyle's decision rendered in Excelaire Service vs. Wolkiewicz (04-20047) for starters to get a feel for what kind of company Excelaire really is. Check out the facts, O Stinky One, before you just start flailing around and generally making a fool of yourself. I rest my case. - smokedsalmon Fri, 29 Dec 2006 20:42:10 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6290 FACT: 154 innocent people are DEAD. FACT: A captain of an aircraft is the CAPTAIN. He is not only in complete charge, but he must be totally knowledgeable, be fully trained and TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE for his actions, his crews’ actions, the passengers’ actions and the aircraft itself. The First Officer is also responsible for his actions and if there are questions, particularly of the captain, to speak up. FACT: Aviation accidents occur because of error chains, not just one isolated incident by just one person. FACT: The preliminary NTSB report read without bias, preconceived notions, etc. contains many facts that show that there are enough faults on everyone’s part to go around. FACT: Negligence on anyone’s part, whether Brazil ATC, the military, crew, passengers, even Excelaire (if the pilots did not have the proper training) is still negligence. FACT: If this is truly an accident without negligence on anyone’s part, then let’s do the right thing, learn from this, fix this and make sure it doesn’t happen again. FACT: Those that are at fault must be held accountable if it is negligence no matter who they are. I’m confused at what part of this people don’t understand and/or accept??? - realgivp Thu, 28 Dec 2006 19:35:04 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6288 Hey we can meet and I will show you what else I am besides smart. - realgivp Thu, 28 Dec 2006 19:14:58 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6264 I have wondered what his agenda is. I have introduced a couple of pilots whose only experience was in military heavies to the joys of flying the jungle. Takes a lot of TLC no matter how good their attitudes are. - Rick Wed, 27 Dec 2006 11:34:33 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/7709/1/#pc_6252 So really special giv pilot, what's your real goal here? Is it to show what a smart, special, know-it-all you think you are? Or are you trying to get these guys thrown in prison. Either way, we're not impressed. But thanks for your contributions to our education. You're sooooooo smart. - stormin norman Tue, 26 Dec 2006 23:59:54 +0100
