A good old instructor of mine used to say "Got your Commercial? here you go you are now licensed to kill" with some laughter. Bumped into a couple of youngsters last week, more than a year since they had their Com, still job hunting. Learn't that these guys where due for a renewal and preparing to do it. As i got involved in a conversation with the two guys the first topic of conversation started revolving around the job hunt and stuff which is quite understandable, as seconds passed by i started observing how ignorant or should i say illiterate where the two guys. The way they spoke, trying to give me an impression that they where the Gods of aviation and there was nothing they did not know. They never gave it a thought i believe before they spoke about anything. But what ever they spoke regarding aviation was utter rubbish. I believe these guys listen to people talking about something and grasp the wrong meaning of it or read something and interpret it wrong, if am not wrong then i suspect these guys are potential killers of their passengers regardless of what they fly.
This was the best which i can quote here, the conversation some how tilted towards the FAA and their way of flying in the USA. One of the dude said that the reason for that was USA is not a member of ICAO. Initially i was surprised and had to check it on the internet that the dude was wrong. Then had to check in the internet and understood that the guys where just showing off.
Did they do this intentionally to get the upper hand on the conversation or were they so ignorant?
