I just checked my "settings" and found someone gave me negative reputation for this post:

No, but we do have wombats, echidnas and platypi. Before you ask, platypi is the plural of platypus

Someone takes their grammar a little too seriously

Yes, I had noticed that.
Thanks,
Peter AKA "Biggles"

Cmon Pete..admit it..You are Biggles deep down..leather flying helmet..a tiger moth for weekends and a Spitfire Merlin for Thrills.

Yeah I'd love to have a go in a Spitfire, without a doubt the best looking aircraft ever made

I love flying..not in a airliner..A real airplane..tiger moth is awesome. I am sure Pete will agree, a modern aircraft is not real flying unless the poo hits the fan and the pilot actually has to PILOT..nowdays you take off..autopilot..fondle the flight attendants..have a coffee, some lunch. use the radio, more fondles, then take aircraft of auto and land that sucker. oh and not forgetting the checklists, flicking lots of switches and adjusting the "I'm a pilot sunglasses"

I'm fairly sure that the "land that sucker" part can also be done by the auto pilot in some planes these days.

I got neg rep for the 10,000 thread too, some tosser told me to stop whinging. They didn't have the guts to do it in the thread itself whoever they were.

As you pointed out, any post there after 2011 is OT since that's when 10,000 members were reached. However if someone was to start a new thread then it probably be locked because "there is no need to start a new thread"...

The whole rep system is a joke really, you shouldn't be able to anonymously leave rep whether it be good, bad or indifferent. Nor should you be able to leave rep without a comment. In fact when the rep system was first introduced, I thought it was a bit of a w@nk and actually had a note in my sig that said "No rep please, I wish to remain an unknown quantity". I was exactly that for about 12 months while others had auras, rough jewels and became known to all

Yes but not in a Dash 8, all our take off and landings are hands on.

Reminds me of an old email of some defects reportedly written in aircraft maintenance releases that did the rounds a long time ago:

Pilot writes "Auto-land in this aircraft lands too heavy"
Engineer response "This aircraft not fitted with auto-land"

Pilot "Right main outboard tyre almost worn"
Engineer "Right main outboard tyre almost replaced"

Pilot "Throttle friction knob makes throttle difficult to move"
Engineer "Throttle friction knob obviously working correctly"

Have you tried the weightlessness? like in space?

Not quite but freefall from 10,000 feet was pretty awesome.

although..I might wash the Kaka.

Can you come and wash mine too? I've got pinched nereve issues and have been ordered to take it easy but the Kaka is filthy and the Possums (God bless them) are all hiding.

... and the Possums (God bless them) are all hiding.

That's because possums are nocturnal...

At least when I "flew" the 737-800 I didn't do this :-

Sounds like they need reversing cameras!

LOL they are some good answers for those fussy bloody pilots.

Yeah, you tell him Pete (i mean Biggles)..that jss fellow is shifty

You've got to watch that shifty bugger or he will get ya.

I shall see if i can spare some of my possums to come clean your Kaka..

And i agree, they need reversing cameras on them fancy planes.

They don't need reverse cameras, the bloody pilots need to stop coming to work pissed. BTW Biggles that case of scotch you wanted is on it's way to you mate.

What runs that thing? Sounds like a jet turbine. Would be fun up at Wombat, if trees get in your way just knock them over!

Hard to do a snatch? How would you mount the recovery points? Lol
Good job it has its MaxTrax built in
