This is it right here man. The fact of the matter is you're talking to dudes who could be considered cynical douchebags, but they're pilots. And the fact of the matter is a lot of the dudes here have given our country a lot of time and sacrifice doing what they do. You are young and unproven in the pilot world. You have no experience and therefore no credibility. The simple fact that you would attack dudes for how they handled your question with the disparity between where you sit and what they've done is what folks are going to be mad about.
Take your licks and be grateful you got some good gouge from dudes. Don't disrespect other dudes who are hacking the mish, you haven't earned the right to quibble. If you want to join the community, this is a good opportunity to learn the first lesson of a fng: never pass up the opportunity to shut the ###### up.
