Lazy Executives Need Helicopter To Get to Airport. woooooo - Page 2

There are two reason why these helicopters should be allowed to come and go as they please. First, the guys we're talking about drive Bugattis, wear suits that cost thousands and they golf at VERY exclusive country clubs. They're just more important than the locals. They can afford lots more stuff. This is typically reason enough all by itself. Usually is.

The other reason is the "business need." If there is additionally a "business need," then obviously that trumps minor concerns like peoples' home lives.

Someday SUPERMAN you will open your Democratic eyes and look at the whole picture and not continue to view the world with blinders on...

I'm trying. This may take a while.

Nobody on earth should make more than $10M/year. Any CEO who makes more than that obviously does not deserve it. Then, if they were *only* making ten $M a year, obvioulsy their time not would not be worth so much money, and they would not have to fly helicopters. Simple as that.

As I am about to start an Airport shuttle service, I say ALL other forms of transport to and from any Airport, should be banned.

Griff.

PS. No meaning to hijack....But, on that subject, what would you prefer to be driven in, a (non-Limo) Cadillac of some type, or a LWB (extra 6 inches legroom in back) Chrysler 300? (Bling-Bling!)

Maybe I should start a poll?

Here at Pelican? I think a GT-3RS would be the clear winner for a ride to the airport.

Funny you should say that, Someone who flies 2/3 times a month who knows I have a Porsche, has already said they will use the service as long as they can go in the 911!

Seriously, why not , & charge a premium.

(As opposed to the half-truths, spin, and sometimes untruths any CEO tells just about anyone else they encounter?)

Thats the difference John, I was not a "random" pilot and know this gent and his wife on a first name basis....

You are a funny, funny boy....

I enjoy when airplanes and helicopters land at my house. The thing that bothers me is late at night when a car drives down my rural road just as I am trying to fall asleep. Where do these people get off driving down MY road late at night. They could easily drive down the busier road 1 mile east of me.

This reminds me too much of the city folk moving out to farm country then b!tching and moaning about the kids riding their dirtbikes or people shooting guns in the back yard. What a bunch of crap!

Man, I am happy to live far away from the liberal infested city.

But he is a funny boy for saying something like this. I simply cannot believe it when someone says something like this.

"Lets limit this, lets control this, lets tax that" and so on... Thats the way they think. Its no wonder that the majority of the very successful business people are not liberal democrats.

Plain and simple Joe, anyone who makes more money than On-Ramp, is a horrible, evil "rich" person who doesn't deserve to be alive

Tim,

Thats why he is so nasty to the trash pickup and street sweeper guys! Always wondered...

You may want to consider moving to Cuba or N. Korea.

Imagine being in a commissioned sales job and told your commissions would be capped at - pick a number. Would you work one second after you had capped out? I sure wouldn't want someone leading my org. who was told they could never make more than $XX. In fact, I think Ross Perot started EDS after he found a way to meet his yearly sales quotas at IBM by the end of Jan. and didn't get paid any more for exceeding it.

Tim Hancock · 04-09-2007, 08:56 AM

Check this guy out..... Obviously a lazy corporate POS thug, who in the hell does he think he is flying a d@mn helicopter around?

I bet he spits on ditch diggers and garbage men as he passes over them. Hey...is that a Bush sticker on his helmet? Figures, d@mn evil republicans.

let's say this guy he flew around your house 3X a day, and at 9PM when you're trying to relax. you wouldn't have a problem with that? so until you learn to see things from someone else's perspective , STFU
don't make this into a dem. vs. repub, political issue. that's lame.

Joeaksa · 04-09-2007, 09:06 AM

Agree totally. Its not a dem vs Rep issue, its an idiot versus normal sane people issue.

Not to worry Off Ramp, SloPat is coming to rescue you. Just stay in the corner of the basement, covered by the mattress.

PS If the pilot of the helo is obeying the law, then he can do as he wishes, just as you do from time to time.

No, I would not have a problem with that and in fact every time I hear a low flying plane, I get my @ss off the couch and go out the back door to watch them land. So right back at you with the STFU!

And as far as the dems vs republicans, those in agreement with you and those opposed in this thread seem to show a correlation in that regard.

lendaddy · 04-09-2007, 09:12 AM

Jeebus, how long does this CEO fly around over your home? And why? Every Helicopter TO/Landing I've ever seen has lasted less than 30 seconds.
