These pages arent private so will get read by others and as Humans we all feel the need to react at times as did I. Its the manner in which some people appear to post their opinions that rub people up the wrong way. This thread at times seems to have taken the tone of "if you are GA & you do PP calls on 121.5 then you are an idiot as its not for that.... why? because I say so".
This topic rumbles on & on and the problem has been around for years, Do you have any evidence to show where PPs on 121.5 have contributed to a flight safety critcal incident? The problem (yes I do agree there is one, but not one that is not manageable) with the present system has been around for years, its just the personalities that complain about it that change.
