Perhaps, there is no one left with pursuit of complain?... (( (

Hi MSL
Have you seen a topic on Radiotelephony in the left side part of the Forum? If not yet, I would suggest you do....))))

well...... (with a sigh) I'm speechless

Me, too. People don't want to browse for ICAO official documentation with all requirements and start a topic hoping for all kind of freebies (халява)...)))))

but one of the men expressed strong disaproval of the assault, which is reassuring.

oops, we are talking about different things :)

No, no I saw it...The only reasonable (if any) explanation could be that the bloke was utterly pissed (boozed)....or perhaps stoned?

Hi Mila
I've just looked through that thread and found it pretty pointless. Just showing off, and nothing else.

Yes, this exactly the thread is/was about. It looks as if just a few people know what they are talking about while the rest are just big "pretenders" or simply trolls....

c'mon, guys, life is itself pointless and largely speaking we are all big pretenders

life itself is pointless

From my own experience the most difficulties in communication with foreign ATC-s are related to their strong local particularities of pronunciation. A kind of tarabarian dialect. Not a grammar or non standard phraseology. When station speaks relatively authentic English it almost doesn't matter which particular phrases it uses (though they are standard as a rule). Everything is quite clear anyway. If not, you can always clarify it communicating.

MSL, I fully agree, 'cause I've heard it so many times from other pilots. But have you flown to the USA, or maybe listened to live ATC comm-s in US airports? What's your opinion on that one? their pronunciaton may be perfect but..

No, I haven't. But I think there are not so many pilots in Russia that fly to the US to take it as a world scale problem. Nevertheless I've listened their (US) communication via atc-net. And my opinion, although it's quite specific it's not a big deal to get used to it.

whom how!

all kidding aside, I think you're right

Hi Slava!
You haven't changed your dream job, yet, have you?.... They are very amateur, true...but nice...)))

Hi Mila,
Which one?
To be honest my dream now is to become a billionaire at least)))
I'm thinking about my own company cause I've got clear vision that in science or academic it will not be possible to raise capital.

Even if you work outside my field, say in undustry, an expected salary is around 50-60 per year before tax of course, which is nothing.
I thought in your field it was worth doing teaching but now see it wasn't.
My solution to final question is a company.

Well, Slava, this is a target. You will need somebody to introduce you into the world of Rich and Few!...))

Those were the days

Feel the difference?
Old days and now?

We had history, had culture, had future, but now.. We just live with no sparks in our eyes with no future and no intention to strive.

I god drunk, got back from a party.. Sorry for this monolog..

I remember my cold nights in a city called Igarka in the year of 1974. 200 km from the north pole, minus 55 during winter and the synergy of all people, holly crap we flushed our country and culture into a lavatory. I wanna get those days back, wanna fly on board russian planes and not on board boings made of useles plastic and composit crap.
Wanna be a russian engineer and not a homles student with no country and no history and everyone blames me, spits at me, swers my rtussian origin

i'm 31 years old, and 10 years i live outside my home town, striving, thinking i'm gonna change something in my live, but that patetic, nothing is gonna change cause we are homles, we left our country, left our people, we have just turned into the f-king kind of prostitutes for the easiest life and the fikicng fat sausages, we betrayed our genes when we agreed to serve and bow down and again serve and sreve and bow down again this fat capitalists those fat rats who oppresses the sprout of freedom.

in the year of 1974

in the year of 1984

Slava, I understand your state of mind and agree to many of your view points.
All you need is LOVE, not just a partner for a night stand or money grabber, but a true sole mate and a friend. You will settle down, build your house and she will make a house of it, where you can certainly find your own piece of mind. these are not just words, these are years, mistakes, all other "ingredients" of personal experience, in the name of Life.

Dear all! I must take the 4-th level in shortest time. My shief is very restless. He forces me every day. Instead of greeting he inquires a certificate. May Day)))

Hi everyone.
I wonder if any of you read books in English. I have red a handful of them, such as the whole series of The Eagle by Simon Scarrow comprised of 10 books in total (11-th is underway), Haruki Murakami, Raymond Khoury. I'm about to finish the last book and looking for something else to read, but haven't decided yet which one, or better say in what style. I prefer military fiction about Rome empire, but it will take months before the latest book of Simon Scarrow is available for sale.
What is your opinion?

Hi, Quintus Licinius Cato
Yes, I, personally, do read a lot of books. But my interest is a bit different from yours, I am afraid. I like detective stories, political thrillers, autobiographies etc..
Have you ever tried amazon, they usually trying to give you some more ideas or authors of similar genre?

http://www.amazon.com/Roman-Em ...

Jetty

Well, thank you for your answer, I see I'm not alone.
So, I've never bought anything on Amazon, cause, as far as I know, the shipping is somehow complicated there and there are various kind of goods, which are prohibited to be sent to our country, one of them is Amazon Kindle (a book reader, with free internet), that's why I prefer Ebay. I have bought almost all books I possess via that site, mostly from Canada.
In fact, there are lot of books, dedicated to Roman empire and especially its military campaign, but it's hard to choose the best and I don't want to waste my money. Perhaps someone has had an experience in reading the books I'm interested in and may give me a piece of advice.

Hello to all!
We haven't discussed the books issue yet. Perhaps, this is the time.
I buy a lot of books from amazon as well and before buying I try to read the reviews, posted by other readers in the section Customer reviews, which is sometimes very helpful ;-))).
Sorry, .....Cato (you've got quite an intereting "call sign") that I can't help you more. Perhaps there are some other English language brushuppers here with the similar interests. Good luck, anyway.

Mila Love

Cato is a name of the main character of Simon Scarrow's Eagle series.
In my opinion one shouldn't rely on anyone's review blindly as everyone varies with their point of views. Some might find Eagle series borring and far away from history, some might find it to be the best book, which has ever been written about Roman empire.
I have read Haruki Murakami book "Kafka on the shore" and I liked it, moreover this was the first book in English I had read by that time. It was easy to read that book and found the least unknown words there, which was good. Than I read Raymond Khoury's three books, the 4-th one I haven't finished so far, but close to its end, one of those book was The last templar, meanwhile the film "The last templar" same has got least coincidences with the book.

Yes, Quintus Licinius Cato, I would have thought so, regarding your nick name...Latin is pretty obvious....
Customer reviews can not be that 100% resourceful. They are more likely to be a kind of a guidance. However, there are also book or author fans' clubs...I am sure you can easily find them on the net and than just look for a version in English....

Hi to all!
a bit quiet in this end, so there we go...

Dear MILA,
Could you write about pilotless aircraft.

Hi
Do you mean a UAV?
That stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle...If so, there are lots of stuff on the Internet...)))
To start with:

The latest book I've read:
"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" - it is about chinese style of parenting.
Oh, how angry I was reading the book!

Obviously it is little typical landing in conditions of strong and gusting crosswind and added to everything else sophisticated approach procedure in the Hong Cong airport. Undoubtedly that landing was't distinguished)

I have read about this "innovation" mounth ago. I would run away very quickly from such as "tigermother")

...everything else sophisticated approach procedure in the Hong Cong airport.

Ушкыш
If I were you I would rather say AT Hong Cong Airport....you are not exactly inside the terminal builing when approaching :-)

Thanks a lot Mila! You have prevented a rough mistake. We will shear my 4-th level fifty-fifty)))

2 Ушкыш
I think you'd better not share your 4-th level with anybody. Cause your share in this case (50/50) will be only 2-nd level :-) And I guess your boss wouldn't be satisfied with such a result ;-)

That's OK, Ушкыш
as long as you practice your level on the ground...before being airborne..;-)
However this is quite an interesting explanation between the two: error and mistake

a mistake is usually caused by poor judgement/judgment or a disregard of rules or principles,
while an error implies an unintentional deviation from standards of accuracy or right conduct
disregard of rules = mistake = not allowed
unintentional deviation from standard = error = allowed
