yeah craig

the commuter jet carrying 40 pass or so that came in right after me ...I heard the pilot on the radio telling ATC, "Hey, we're getting the piss knocked out of us here on this approach, we're thinking it would be inadvisable to send any plane lighter than our's through here with all these bumps".

Mind you, I had just landed after having experienced that same turbulence and my airplane is about a 1/3 or a 1/4 the size and weight of that other one. I felt like saying grow a set already, buddy. But instead I chose the more diplomatic and friendly remark of, "Well a plane lighter than you did just pass through there and landed and I can attest to what your talking about .."

I think I shoulda gone with the first line. It probably would have been an FCC violation, though. LOL. There are limits to what you can say on the radio. Ha ha ha.
