Line-driver you make good points, however much of the poor management that you complain about is by people who started off as line pilots and climbed the ladder (brown nosed the Boss?). Why do they forget their roots so readily?
As a forum encouraging discussion this site has some strong benefits in the way it allows subjects that might otherwise remain unspoken to see light of day. It also has some very strong disbenefits in that the anonymity that allows these subjects to be raised also allows for disinformation to be freely posted.
There are people on here who post with what appears to be absolute knowledge...................... sometimes you actually know enough of the facts to recognise the utter bullsh!t for what it is, but there will always be plenty willing to believe the bull.
Personal vendettas and company rivalries all contribute to mis-information on here, hence the warning note to be careful what you believe.
If a company is taking everything written on here so seriously it is banning people from reading the posts, then I suggest there is a more serious problem within that company.
