Why did God create women?

Because God took one look at men and said, ''I know I can do better than this.''

anyone with the thought that it takes one chromosome or the other to fly an inanimate object will be cursed with a female training Captain, a female ops manager, a female crew scheduler, dispatcher, maintenance personel (the one that takes care of the weeee signature it takes to release the plane from armpit places) and most definitely your PPC ride will be done by yet another lady. They call it Instant Karma.
Good Luck Goat, but you're screwed now.
Thank God i'm an atheist.

Goat, you definately will want to steer clear of Thunder once you build up a little more than the 100 or so hours you more than likely have!!!

To understand why the sky is blue, we need to understand a little about light. Light is a form of radiation, electromagnetic energy that travels in the form of waves possessing electric and magnetic properties. This form of energy does not need matter to propagate. We can characterize this energy by its wavelength -- the distance along a wave from one crest to another. Our eyes are remote sensors that are sensitive to light with wavelengths between approximately 0.4-0.7 microns (one micron is a millionth of a meter or one one-hundredth the diameter of a human hair). Below I will summarize the wavelengths for different colors of the spectrum.

Color Wavelength in microns

Violet .390-.455

Blue .455-.492

Green .492-.577

Yellow .577-.597

Orange .597-.622

Red .622-.780

When light beams interact with particles suspended in air, the energy can be scattered or absorbed. Energy that is scattered causes a change in direction of the light path. The amount of light that is being scattered is a function of the size of the particle relative to the wavelength of the light falling on the particle. Particles that are tiny compared to the wavelength of the light scatter selectively according to wavelength. While all colors are scattered by air molecules, violet and blue are scattered most. The sky looks blue, not violet, because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light (the sun also emits more energy as blue light than as violet).

Oldncold:

Capslock is short for "Capitalization Lock". This button is typically located to the left of the letter 'A" on a standard QWERTY keyboard. By pressing this button, you will turn off the mechanism which forces all characters to be in upper case (i.e. capitalized). You may then begin typing like a normal person using only the "shift" key (bottom right and left of the keyboard) to effect capitalization. This will help people enjoy your post to a greater degree, and prevent eye-strain.

Indeed, I do work at a desk. This is largely a function of having a university education, an IQ of 148, and a membership to Mensa. Clearly, I would not be silly enough to fly airplanes.

Silly enough? Or could you just not cut it? :cry: Either you washed out of training or didn't have the intestinal fortitude to make it in the indusstry. No matter, the fact that you hang around this site says enough about you for us to fill in the blanks... :arrow:

Do you have trouble with women and use us to get you within a 5 foot range of them? :oops: Or does being in our company help you live a less boring life than the cubicle you work out of day in/ day out/ day in / day out. :twisted:

Don't worry...I wish I had your desk job..we all do. Feel better?

LOL

Yes the only job in aviation is that of pilot

I make more money than you.

You're failing the multiple choice portion of this test.
Do you have trouble with women and use us to get you within a 5 foot range of them?
Yes, I often brag to women about internet conversations. It works better than when guys like you brag about their Dungeons and Dragons character.
Or does being in our company help you live a less boring life than the cubicle you work out of day in/ day out/ day in / day out.
Yes, I live vicariously through pilots. They're just so dreamy.
Don't worry...I wish I had your desk job..we all do. Feel better?
I like my work. <shrug>. Oddly, I enjoy the symphony but have no desire to play the violin.

BTW: Your handle, .80@410 clearly denotes your Blood Alcohol Content in reference to the time of day. Me, it is more often 1.10 @ 12:00. But then, I can hold my booze better than you.

Well, for you to answer about light refraction in a thread that was obviously a joke doesn't say much for your IQ.

Desk driver,,

perhaps you should open your Physics-30 textbook again and do some reading on that stuff that comes out of the lights,, you might be able to BS some people here,, but not me

Yes you may be eduacated, but basketweaving can be learned by most well mannered chimps..

You think that you are better then most,, Well perhaps this is true when wanting something to throw rocks at.

I am educated, experienced, OWN my home, 2 aiplanes, Have a beautiful wife that you could only dream of. and I'm certain that I make more money than you ..

And most importantly,, I am a professional, and have better things to do than slag people that are asking for advice. I have a name for people like you..

LOSER

Do yourself a favour and leave.

I'm sure others agree.
