Well, at the risk of really throwing A1 on the flames ...

It is important to say that TightSlot very rarely intervenes. I would say that the kind of replies given in this thread are the strongest I have seen from this most mild of moderators.

The reason that this subject has produced a strong reaction is that it has surfaced here many, many times and all of the questions - and multiple replies - are available. TightSlot is operational cabin crew and has to monitor equipment usage in everyday work and can give good information.

Whilst this forum (and all of PPRuNe) is open for people to post their views etc., bear in mind that we are here because others give their free time to keep the whole show on the road. This system was set up for professional pilots and they have made space available for those of us that wish to play by their rules. If we do not like the rules, we can go. Whilst it is a 'public' board, it is privately owned and run.

As I have said, in the many moons that I have been part of this forum, I have seen nothing but patience and tolerance towards all. What may have tipped the balance is the "Are you being serious?" When TS gets back from work (and regular life, just like TWApilot) to moderate this forum for free - it might be rather galling to have people be so disparaging.
