I'm only starting out (haven't even had my 1st PPL lesson yet)in flying, but originally came to this forum following the advice of my FI to be who happens to be a BA Cpt. I presumed I would find like-minded individuals here, but instead am discovering a whole new brand of egotists. Probably doesn't help that I'm female - no doubt there are some here who would slate that fact as well. I have to ask Hungry Pilot what the heck he's hungry for.... obviously not any form of mingling in the ranks or allowing the (in his warped opinion) lower echelons of the aviation industry to have any form of furthering their interest on a site such as this. Having read a lot of posts on this entire site, I would nearly (but only nearly) have to ask - "When is a pilot NOT a pilot?? When he's a Pprune!".
I came to this site eagerly anticipating being able to 'talk' to others who have gone down the PPL road who could advise or help me in the way forward. So GO for getting us our own area one way or another and let those with a bad attitude go elsewhere - what are they doing in this section anyway??
