You took it as a jibe. I have nothing against spotters. I don’t class myself as a spotter (I have friends who are) but I am an avgeek and frequent visits in my youth also led to a 16 year (and counting) experience within the industry.
Not withstanding that, I stand by my comment that for many, this argument will be about getting more variety and reg’s in their note books and some more exotic birds that might divert in.
There’s nothing wrong with that, it was nice to see a Air Tahiti in MAN last week, for example, rather than just getting to see one in LAX.
