Thanks for the vote of support Gaunty.
I did not want to go into a great explanation, however as I see my fellow ppruners as friends I will offer a small explanation which may explain my stance.
As I said earlier I like others was waiting for the program to air and stayed home and awake until it came on.
I was tired and expecting something a little different, however once I worked out what was going on, I said enough, turned off and went to bed as I was not in the mood to listen to the presenter carry on. NOT interested in a comedy routine.
On more of a reflective note, I have no problem laughing at myself as we do on pprune all the time. What concerned me though, was that the very audience of the show was probably many of the flying public who would see it differently then people within the industry would see it. [We can laugh at ourselves in send up.] The program was filmed well and truly before Sept.11th and I would have thought the way the aviation world is at the moment this show outside the aviation fraternity was not a good idea. I'm a great fan of flying high and laughed myself silly everytime I saw it, which was many.
Yes, I did take it as bad taste at a time when public confidence in aviation is at an alltime low around the world and I don't think the program reinforces the correct message to the travelling public, nor does any favours for the industry at a particulary vunerable time and I will admit that as I chose not to watch the whole program
I wasn't looking for a laugh when I wasn't interested in the first place.
Have you not started to watch a program only to lose interest and say not for me !
Hope this gives you an insight to my earlier post. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> edited for spelling etc;
