    In post #1 I typed;
    To many meatheads pushing tin in my opinion.

    Your one of those pilots?
    Your a pilot?

    Well I assumed pushing tin, which ATC guys call it, referred to airliners. That followed your no flying comment so I assumed you meant Airplane pilots. Either way I thought it was kinda funny.

    Ah yes, Good ole (real) tin pushers.
    We critique & laugh at you kids also.

    Not meaning to wonder far from the marine topic, I did mention that I did not like to fly any more in post #1;
    It is getting harder for myself to get in line, another line, another line, then herded and packed like cattle, Just to sit on the tarmac for hours, awaiting a slot to become available for a scheduled 50 minute flight.

    I have lost patience and faith in people controlling boats, ships and planes. THEN, I can not reach up and Jethro them.

    Meathead in the first post, but Mr. Helsom is an airline pilot, not a harbor pilot.:D

    Agreed Ralph, only time it’s fun to travel on an airplane is when it won’t leave without you. I am going to use the meathead comment though, it definitely fits sometimes.

    Usually the way it is meant.
    I do have a Crappy sense of humor. Most here tolerate me.
    Sometimes, Sometimes even the owner/operator of this fine web site.

    All this typing is making me thirsty
