Sigh!
There's always a few who get baited by the silly little trolls like Ruthless and can't resist falling into the trap. For the time being, Ruthless has been given a suspension with a warning that should he come back on here, he does so with a bit more civility and depth to his posts.
Those of us who fly these types of aircraft for a living can always tell when someone posting on here is doing so from a position of ignorance. There are always tell tale clues in things such as terminology and descriptions of what 'they' think we have with us on the flight deck.
I would appeal to everyone on this thread that has taken the time to speculate or pontificate that 'we' know who knows what they are talking about and 'we' also know who is trying to pretend to be a professional airline pilot but failing miserably in the process. Stop trying to pretend that you are one of our fraternity if you are not. Once you are in, assuming you have the qualifications AND experience to back it up, your comments will be give the consideration they deserve. As for the others who pontificate without the experience to back it up, and I mean experience flying these kinds of jets, then please limit your posts to questions or else qualify your experience as faking it isn't going to wash on here.
Now, can we please ignore the Trolls and pretenders and get back to some semblance of debate rather than some of the mind numbingly irrelevant stuff that the media love to latch on to.
