Cheers Lomcovaks!
I must be one of those "apparatchiks and apologists" you mention as I've recently logged back on to the PFA BB and made a couple of posts.
This whole episode has really left me feeling depressed. How can one incident cause such major disruption ... or was it just the straw that broke the camels back? I've been a PFA supporter for as long as I can remember and I will be for as long as it continues. I well remember a feeling of unease when PFA Ulair was first mooted ... but that's a long while ago now
There is nothing wrong with trying to get the PFA BB back up and running well. It held a very useful purpose for those who want more than the politics of the ass. It was a good way to communicate ideas on our aircraft, building problems and many of the other less controversial but never-the-less useful pooled knowledge base. It's a shame that so many are baying for blood and can't see through the red mist to give all we who simply want to get on with things the chance to do so. I'm not saying the politics aren't important ... but please don't shoot the messenger!
