Hobie, quite agree. At the expense of thread drift, and to avoid opening up another thread, I think this forum, used sensibly, is an excellent tool for diseminating information which used to be done in the crew room but with a far greater knowledge base. I say 'used' to do in the crew room as days of old with tales over coffee seem well passed. Everyone is too busy.
Even the flight safety mags are now weighty, professional tomes that demand more than a quick glance through.
Thing about pprune is the quick Q&A and often more accurate and far less rumour based than a crew room.
