The Profession
What an interesting thread... We are all in the same profession - have the same aims and try to be professional in our work.
We rely on each other and communicate together every day.
Yet pilots and ATC both use almost slanderous terms here to describe each other, US and non-US pilots pontificate at each other,
everybody is certain to be "in the right".
If that can happen here, in our prestigious club, no wonder that the World is falling apart in other respects.
The internet has a lot to answer for if this is the best we can do.
