I completely disagree that a private forum is the way to go. There are far too many people with excellent and educated points to make who would be excluded simply because they form part of a group which is generally considered to be a problem.
I am currently a cabin crew member which would immediatly exclude me from this forum, however I am also halfway towards a comercial license (unfortunately stopped due to failed medical) and am now looking to pursue a career in air traffic. I have always shown a keen interest in the safety issues and things that happen the other side of the door and feel I have been able to make some decent points in debates. Please do not exclude people such as myself simply because a few of the people in our jobs have been a nuisance.
