.....and in any case, if anybody wonders why I'm still so annoyed about self appointed flight-inspector jerks apparently permanently on the look out to snitch on any flight operations alleged 'deviations' to newspapers, pprune, CAA and anybody else who will possible be persuaded to listen, let me tell you it's hard enough doing the bloody job at the best of times without these creeps blasting into print anytime they think they can get a bit of free publicity AND nail a professional pilot at the same time.
As evidence, I point to a planeload of hysterical Air France passengers recently- any true nosey aviation busybody will know the details already. The desire to bag a pilot scalp seems to be very strong these days! And a bit of daft exaggeration helps the cause!
