The Bitter and Twisted (Albatoss0000) aside, there has been a back down of sorts re the origins of this thread. It still remains to be seen if, despite our strong opinions, how the changes will pan out in 'real life'.
It is strange how 'change' is more difficult for us the pilots than the management who instigate the change...I for one have not come across anyone who has 'welcomed' any of the recent changes, MOST do not like them...expect strong opinions to remain.
