Well, I never did.
Actually, I did. I suggested a place like this in Aircrew Notices, decided -- after a short and rather unexciting discussion -- that nobody much seemed enthused, and concluded it probably wasn't worth having a pax forum.
And now they've gone and done it. Hurrah!
What do I think about pilots? Well, PPRuNe's been quite a revelation, although it has reinforced my pre-PPRuNe perceptions that the system works well in delivering people to the front seats who really are up to the job. It's also been very interesting working out what the real issues are: the SIA stuff is particularly fascinating, since if I understand correctly there *are* genuine safety issues there and there isn't any real way to tackle them. Culture is always the most intractable issue.
What I'd like to see pilots do more for passengers... well, more information would be wonderful. Nobody wants to be woken up every hour on the redeye by Captain Humungous going on about his wonderful aircraft, or have their viewing pleasure disrupted for an in-transit weather report, but there are plenty of opportunities to give a short explanation of any delays, expected turbulence, that sort of thing.
And I really like the Delta habit of putting RT on one of the PAX audio channels, but then I'm an anorak...
