I will give you credit for trying but I think you should change your names. We are but just pilots and are easily confused. Such as DE727UPS flies for UPS its easy, and "Doug Taylor" is Doug Taylor, and I am "shinysideup" cause that's my goal in flying. Not that I haven't dabbled in minor aerobatics but most of the time I try to keep the oiled side closest to the ground. My point: In reading your posts, we know your not an United Airlines 747-400 pilot, but to another new poster, you have the name which would imply so. Therefore giving off the impression of someone who knows what is going on in the industry, company, airplane which you don't. And there are too many posts to the effect of "Hey doug what do you think about this." DOUGman if you were to reply to those posts, the newcomer would take your word for gold, and it should not be misconstrued for such.
Its kinda like walking into a bar and saying "My name is "Neil Legstrong, I am an Astronaut." Well to some who does not know any better, you will be considered royalty, but for those who realize that your not who you make yourself out to be, you will be ridiculed and even in some cases be considered idiots, or in some other cases get thrown in jail for some obscure local law about impersonating someone else.
Its bad practice. |
Wow, just wow!
Do you not browse internet forums much? Forum screen names are just that, screen names. I picked it like 4 years ago back when I was a little nerdy about aviation. Its not mine, or anyones problem if someone else misinterprets their screen name. If someone thinks I might be a UAL 747-400 captain, they should ask. I for one have NEVER tried to impersonate being an airline pilot on the internet.
Im trying to stay calm and mature about responding to this, but frankly that is probably one of the dumbest, most unneccessary posts I've ever seen. Sorry.
