Arrogance at your field?
Matt:
I hear what you are saying. I personally started flying at a different location due to this type of behavior by certain people. They are several individuals, that come down to this field without airplanes everytime I see them, yet as you indicated in your post, they are always critical of someone else who happens to be flying for whatever reason. And to top it all off they think they know it all. I usually try and let it go in one ear and out the other.
If you have different flying locations, visit other fields, and talk with their members. Maybe start flying somewhere else. I found another club in my area recently that has great members. I've recently joined, and the only down side is that I now have to drive across town, but have more fun this way.
