For the life of me I can't understand why so many comments relate to the IPG considering other pilot groups, regional or otherwise.
Many a contemptuous comment has been made about Impulse over the last few years. Most of the issues, as I understand them have been management ones but most of the PPRuNe vitriol has been directed at the pilots.
If the deity hadn't been smiling in their direction, so that they've ended up being Johnny-On-the-Spot, then there wouldn't be so much jealousy evident.
