Granny Smith,
I agree with some of what you say, I think most of us here on PPRuNe would fully support the CATC guys and defend them against any unjust accusations from people who are somewhere in the CATC system
However I, and one or two others who e-mailed me, did detect a threatening tone in one of your posts, namely:
Dog on Wheels
my spies in the 'college of knowledge' tell me that the "back-stabbing bastards" comment went down a treat with the instructors! I just hope they don't find out who you are cos I get the feeling your ATC career may be short but interesting
on a more serious note (for the rest of us as DoW is in deep **** already)
Now this may have been in jest, but the implication is that something would happen to make DoW's career short, that is a hollow threat as we all know, but to someone early in their career who does not necessarily have experience in the ways of the world of ATC yet, it could be read in a more sinister vein to that which you originally intended.
I am happy that points have been made to clarify what you really meant, and draw a line under this part of the debate. I'm sure the students here have learnt a salutory lesson as well.
