Ozdude,
I don't usually agree with the tone of your postings or the 'Canberra school of diplomacy' but you have summed up the (so called) Guvnor very well.
For those who are less informed the 'Guvnor' is reportedly a deluded individual, a self styled (wannabe) airline executive who has allegedly duped many with false hopes of a cargo startup from PIK.
From his postings here and elsewhere it is evident he spends his days surfing airline sites for news and info to impress us with his knowledge.
He evidently very little commercial aviation experience and seeks to engratiate himself in the ranks professionals. He has remonstrated with little regard for the professional standards of mere 'machine minders' and unsurprisingly has no experience of flying himself.
You may draw your conclusions from his 'handle'.
The Guvnor is just another aircraft spotter
