If it matters, it's my opinion that the non pilots should be welcome to post or read here. If someone is truly interested in aviation, then their opinion is valid too!
Anyone worried about the media getting the right "scoop", needn't!
They will ALWAYS mess up a story, and put whatever spin on it that the author feels is necessary to prove his point........
Who cares if they got their story from Pprune. Anyone that would put ANY credence (for the purpose of a newspaper article) in an anonymous forum can't be relied on for the truth!
Just my $.02!
