It may be that only passengers are now able to see what's been posted, but none of us have access to add anything more.
Here is the reason for the closure, and I don't blame him:
Due to the fact that this Passenger Forum has turned into a giant name-calling contest between Passengers and Non-Passengers alike, this forum has been disabled for a few days.
The purpose of this board was to keep the passengers informed on the results of the investigation and what was being done about it. That is clearly not the case anymore.
The Pilots Forum discussion thread will be deleted Sunday night. Some people posted novels recently and I don't want them to go to waste, but most of the bad banter on this forum comes in that thread.
Discussion boards drift away from civil behaviour because of the anonymity of the participants. I think he did the right thing.
