Just read your post in detail. I agree. I think that the professionals PILOTS/ATCOS should have their own private forum, if that is what you implied, This would stop all innacurate rumours going around and we could discuss such matters on a more professinal basis without the newspaper people getting involved. I don't know how PPRUNE could monitor this but that is up to them if they feel it is justworthy.
If NATS and some of the Airlines can have their own forums then why can't there be a forum for the professionally qualified aviation personnel?
