TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

Oh, I know Pahoted is not an Astronomer......I just wanted to prove the point that only a person with extensive Astronomy experience should toss around opinions like that. I know a bit about Astronomy, but a limited amount about IR Astronomy; I would never dream of telling any of the MK Telescopes that they were obsolete. I fear I'd end up suffering form a severe case of foot in mouth disease.

"Pahoted, I'll assume you are an astronomer with a statement like that. You asked for my credentials, let us hear yours. I comment on matters Aviation because I am an Airline Transport Pilot, rated in everything form bush planes to jets, 13 years flying experience. Tom talks Astronomy because he works at UKIRT. I am not trying to be snarky, it just irks me when folks voice strong opinions on something they are clearly not knowledgeable in. I am sure Tom feels the same."

I can tell you with certainty that pahoated is not an astronomer and is not knowledgeable in the field. He gives this away everytime he posts about the subject or the observatories on Mauna Kea. I suspect professionals in your own industry feel the same when some MS flight simulator buff tells you how to fly an aircraft and deal with an emergency.

Professionals tend know when someone is doing a Walter Mitty act in their own field of expertise, and yes, it irks me.
