It's 9:45 local now and I'm just now getting out of the office. I've been in the sim shooting the approaches at LAS and VGT getting used to the procedures and such.
Anyway...I get a kick out of everyone here and honestly this started out partly a troll because I was quite happy that I got to see his pilot certificate which showed many type ratings. DC-10, (727 and DC-9 as well if I recall correctly) 767 and among others. I must say I hooked a stringer full.
Anyway, I've got all the satisfaction I need out of this whole ordeal. He even brought his FIRC certificate from that afternoon among the many DC-10 and 767 photos from Hawaiian airlines. None are digital, all are kodak with date stamps.
I've posted the email before. It's on the website here. You don't even need to have a huge imagination to figure it out but I'll tell you anyway.
Straiga@hotmail.com amazing, huh?
I will say again that in my opinion you're ALL out of line for asking anybody to post their personal info on a public forum. Beware what you wish for you might get it, but I will say you won't find everything you're looking for in the registry. I did a little research and confirmed this by searching for folks that I know have certificates and they didn't come up. NOBODY has posted a name that they think is his, so as far as I know you don't even have a guess.
After an hour in the car with "Straiga" I can say that he's very knowledgable, intelligent and laid back. I do consider him a friend now and it really doesn't matter what anyone here says I will continue to do so. I'm not going to be 'shamed' away and it is also not my place to post his information here. Get your heads out of your tulips if you think I'm going to GIVE you anything. Nobody has offered a name here or privately to verify, including Bodhi whom I have asked several times but am given an answer even more 'shady' than you accuse Straiga of being. I'm done posting on the subject, I will tell you if you can't find out who he is through your many and vast sources...you're not looking in the right place. I've seen the pieces of paper from the FAA and I am saying that it's true.
Regarding anything else...that's between you and him.
I'd ask that Hitech delete the threads that go above and beyond personal attack including 'Autopilot' bodhi's famous thread which names Straiga in the title and this one.
I can't hide from my stance. I know too many guys and gals from this game. No less than 25 members of my squadron alone I have met personally including spouses, significant others, children and pets. The best part is, I can say that because I know that I don't need to. I don't suppose it will change anyone's mind but I've stood by giving him a fair shot and in my eyes he's proven himself truthful. Anything further is your problem with him and I'd suggest you do it privately. If that's too hard to understand, then I don't know what to say that you're either lacking a life, going above and beyond the call of duty to be confrontational or are awaiting your taping date for the Jerry Springer show.
You're all adults, act like it. You'd be surprised what a little civilty could bring you...and beware what you wish for because you just might get it.
