Well put Triple T.
Sniffer might like to consider this reasoning for the thread being closed:
The basic premise came across as simply rubbing the noses of thousands of empoyees into the personal disaster they all face.
I would presume the writer would argue that such an intention was never involved and that it was aimed at a specific group/generation of Ansett pilots.
Nevertheless, it was our judgement here at the Towers that the thread crossed the lines of what many would see as common decency at such a terrible time for so many.
The 89er threads have shown just how deep the scars are for those involved. We have to considered how betrayed, hurt and bitter many feel many years on and we have given them a platform for 7 years now.
And so to today, where for thousands there are no scars yet - just the shock and pain as they take stock of what has befallen them.
