Bobbsy and our biggest problem is now idiots who know nothing of this industry coming in here and taking whole threads of gossip hearsay and rumour to events they were not witness to then sending it to the FAA!! It isnt their place to do so and demonstrates crass stupidity.
We are professionals and know what is right and wrong and will report when necessary. SLF are more than welcome here but to benefit from an open forum they have to behave with a bit more decorum. If you have a lifelong fascination with aviation and want to hear what goes on then be aware actions such as those by John 'aviations saviour' Marsh will make many want to keep you out for fear of potential legal recrimination. The majority of us are very aware how lucky we are to be doing what we do for a living and that others are fascinated by it. Indeed we are more than happy to encourage that interest, but shutters go up when idiots like Mr Marsh come here acting like self-serving crusaders to feed their fantasist side.
