Flight hours

(1/16) > >>

EHM-1199 Philip:
Rico Allee - an all star flyer has PIREPed over 75 hours of flights in one week. Rico this is amazing. It is almost incredible. I do recall a rule about not leaving the computer for a period of more than fifteen minutes if flying on autopilot. If this rule is adhered to then Rico, you have spent brain frazzling hours staring at your monitor flying planes. If it is not adhered to, things get silly as when we reach SCC level and have long flights available, we could set a flight going in the morning, clear off to work and then land in the evening and get credited for all those hours flying.
Without doubting Rico, who I'm sure is an honest and dedicated pilot, when the flight logger is introduced I for one would be up for making it compulsory for high percentage of flights. Whilst not totally secure it would go someway to reducing the capacity for 'absent' flying which no doubt scares the passengers witless.

EHM-1123 Dejan:
Hi Phil, as much as I disapprove or hate 'cheating' in any kind of way, I think that is something to be left to Rico's, or any other pilot's Hub Manager.
No offense, but, are you browsing rosters and chasing suspicious reports...?
You must have a lot of spare time...;)

EHM-1343 Jonathan:

I have no interest in whether or not Rico is following the rules to the letter or not other than the excessive flight hours does open up the question of how strict we are with the rules. I would like to see the flight logger being compulsory.

As for browsing the rosters ... I loose hours in our website browsing. If I don't have enough time for a flight but do have a few minutes I check the forums and browse the website. But hey ... watch out Dejan 'cos if there was foul play ... I'd notice;)

EHM-0641 Rico:
Hey guys wassup  !!

Hehehe.. I knew that sooner or later this would come up.

All I can say is, I love EuroHarmony....
It was the second VA I've ever joined, and I never had any reason to even think of changing from VA...!!!

Anyways, concerning my flighthours...
I was shocked like everyone else when EH went down. And like most of you I guess, I was checking everyday when it would come back.

I have alot of free time, so I can make like 6 to 8 flights a day .!! I know , seems like alot to you guys....

Only thing I'm trying now, is to make up for my old flight hours. The one I had before EH went down, like 500 something.

The only time I use autopilot, is when climbing to cruising altitude, or when I lift my lazy ass up to get some refresments ;D

Don't get me wrong, I would probaly have reacted the same way like you guys did.
So that's why I felt obliged to offer an explanation.

I understand that it might be  little discourageing for other pilots, to see how some people have a lot of free time like me and can spend hours behind their pc and log flights...while they log a merely 10 hours in a week....

So I think it'd be a good idea for me to stop flying for a while, to offer my fellow pilots some time to 'catch up' to me.

I'd like some feedback on that....

I wish you all as much fun and joy flying as I'm certainly having when I am :]
