Default RE: Field Ettitiquite

This is why I don't go out to the field on the weekends anymore. I'm an experienced pilot too.

We have the weekend crowd. I call them the "weekend warriors". They work all week, and it's understandable that they want to get out and bang the sticks on the weekend. But, some of them are first class idiots, and a few of them are downright jerks. Not all of them--but enough of them that it makes me not want to be around them. So, I just stay away on the weekend.

I do my flying during the week. Rarely ever see anyone. When I do see another guy, it's almost always one of the normal guys, just like me. We can talk and harrass each other, and tell stupid jokes. All is calm and easy going.

Thats how I fixed my problem with some of the members at our field. They fly on Saturday and Sunday--I fly on Monday, Teusday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It's always windy on the weekends anyway. [:-]
