After another instance at an all pilot's meeting with a group I'm involved with, I hope to god that if I ever become a flight instructor I'm not like the last few encounters like the ones that have been at these meetings and have egos the size of a 747, and think that their opinion is the "word of god" regaurdless of wether or not they are correct. Even if the alternative is still correct, its "still wrong" according to that person.

The first instance it ended up with a debate between a flight instructor and a retired Air Force General who now works traveling giving safety briefings to pilots. (I would think that the retired General a thing or two.) The second event cause a instructor arguing over weight and balance, with the innocent person that proposed making it a statewide access for the different aircraft and resulted in a long discussion over weight and balance while the "opposing" argument only said that it would be a planing tool and backed up when the pilot got to the plane and dounble checked the actual numbers.

If most of that is over your head, its ok, main points: flight instuctors with giant egos= will argue even if theres nothing to argue about but they didn't say it so its wrong.

Otherwise, I'm watching Big bang theory, and while I can't relate to the charactors too much, whenever there is something about Sheldon being from Texas, and what he says, ya, that I can relate. As in the episode I'm watching now, someone made chili with beans. Sheldon asked if it had beans, she said yes, he said well it isn't chili, and she asked if he still wanted some, and he said "yes, whatever it is". Point, some Texas stereotypes are true, and "you can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the boy".
