pitchlink,
The post that you refer to was on the 8th October, and I had no knowledge of it prior to reading this.
However, and this is a big 'however', Danny is quite right that nothing is black and white. To keep a robust forum, rumours about jobs, or references from impartial parties, sometimes slip through to the benefit of all. Blatant adverts are a different kettle of rhubarb, and get binned without you even knowing, often to indignant screeches from those involved. Somewhere in between are those such as yours, which got binned.

Hmmm, a bit disingenuous that. The two threads about police jobs (in UK) are more of a general discussion, and have been merged as such. And there is also one asking which pilot is leaving the NSW Police Air Wing, is that a problem?

I would suggest one may accidentally put a foot wrong but have no intent to deprive pprune of any ad income.
That sums it up for me
