Well, I didnt mean to sound elitist to anyone, but I could see how my post could be mis interpreted. I meant professional in the way posts are written and how topics are replied to ( hijacking of threads being the main issue), nothing about limiting the forums to pilots, sorry but with a few amber ales the wording wasnt the best, I agree. You could have zero or 20,000 hours or not even related to the industry I dont have any objection to postings as long as the postings are professional. Hope that makes it clearer!
