ACSM
Acms,
who you are shouts so load its difficult sometimes to hear what you are trying to say.
N1 it appears the issues with this site is its misleading title, Professional Pilots Rumour...the word professional here seems to be misleading.
Your posts have been thoughtful and illuminating and many have enjoyed reading them. A refreshing break from some of the whinging and mud slinging that seems to go on here.
This thread was an enjoyable discussion that was sabotaged by some ahem angry misoninists who happen to be pilots and whew hew members of the AOA. It would be unfortunate if all pilots and AOA members are judged based on these few eggs.
I wonder what is the role of the internet in many a lonely pilot's life? I wonder what indeed their wives, girlfriends, kids would say about it? It seems to be a common phrase.. "then he comes home from work and sits at the computer all night" It maybe that this "virtual" of the internet has become an addictive pattern for many of our colleagues and for others it seems to be some for of reaching out and communicating sharing ideas etc.
Some of what is projected on these sites offer a fascinating insight into the anger and lonliness of many.
For one I hope you N1 etc remain here contributing your thoughs and ideas and those who don't like it can lump off onto the tabloid threads of which there are many.
