I have 5 PIREPS held as we speak..5 flights in 10 hours,mostly short flights(an hour or so)in the CRJ-200..
Now i love to fly,and because of my sometimes insomnia,i'm up at 500am till 1000am(go to my work)and home at 4pm,and while my wife is working,i love to fly...sometimes staying up until 1am...and yes,for me 5 flights a day IS normal...

Now,i dont like VATSIM,and dont believe i need to fly that way,or to prove what i'm doing..My wife,Judy will vouch for me.She says i fly too much...

BTW,i have logged "right seat" time in the 707-331B,737-200,and in the "RIO" seat on a F-14D Tomcat

So if i post something,its factual..even if it takes me a little longer to get there,maybe because i love the EMB-120..

BUT I"M NOT CHEATING!....

(i can always resign.....)

David, I think a lot of the issues might be solved if you use ACARS, especially if you log a lot of flights per day? Any reason why you don't use it?

Cheers!

You are too scary actually. If you are not going to fly ACARS please just go away. You are the kind of guy we do not need here.

Dear Mr. Williams...If i'm scary,as you say i am,how do you explain your 729.1 hrs offline AND not on ACARS..

I believe i'm entitled to MY opinion...

I'm having ACARS issues with my computer...thats why i'm not using it!

Sorry David, but you do scare me with your posts. I have 686 hours ACARS so not sure what you mean. My Vatsim number is 980239 which equates to over 1300 hours on Vatsim. So just slow down. I have nearly 2000 hours in real world as a CFI so again take a deep breath.
