Pprune gets some press

The following appeared in the article “Aviation fixation”, The Globe & Mail, Friday August 5, 2005, p.R31:
The horse’s mouth is at the Professional Pilot Rumour Network (pprune.org; click the ‘Forums’ link for the good stuff), a cross between a pilot’s lounge and a sociology experiment gone awry. It’s a well-known Internet forum for airline pilots, where the discussion is informed and intense. But since this is the Internet, everyone is anonymous, and anyone could be an imposter. The whole thing bogs down in fear and loathing. Anyone speaking out of line is suspected of being some jerk with a Cessna, or worse, a lurking journalist itching to mangle some facts. It’s a fantastic read.
"Fear and loathing"??? That's a bit harsh ... I'm glad I very rarely bother with "Jet Blast"!

P.S. There are many worse things in life than being "some jerk with a Cessna".
