Captain James, I suggested pilot's licence (or ATC)i.e. including PPLs of course. And of course everyone is welcome to free opinion in the free world even if enthusiasm leads them to being inarticulate or damn rude. The point is that with the necessary anonymity and posting access to all, even The New York Times will believe that much that is written is done so by pilots and so postings assume an insider interest that is not warranted. Sorry if this has already been done to death as I don't often visit these days for the above reasons. But if this is a recurring and thorny subject it suggests it is a valid one.
SLF thanks for your comment. Did you mean airline staff (and I agree with your idea of that wider circle of postees) rather than non-airline?
