Let's not forget what PPrune is about...
The Professional Pilots Rumour Network (PPRuNe) is a community of professional pilots and people who work in aviation, both experienced and inexperienced. Your behaviour here, and ours, can be summed up in four words: “Mi casa, su casa” (my house is your house).
The PPRuNe Forums are a place where it's okay to be yourself as long as you always act with respect for your fellow members as well as PPRuNe staff. Our goal will be to treat our members as we would wish to be treated. In return, we ask that you act here as you would if you were face to face with the other members. You are not expected to leave your personality at the door. There are going to be topics and discussions that will have heated debates. Please think before you post and re-read what you type before you post it. Keep your comments limited to the debate at hand and do not make this a personal issue between you and another member.
There is tremendous diversity in age, race, gender, language, location (worldwide). There will be a lot of varying opinions on different subjects. We're all human beings and we're all drawn to this site because we have a common bond as pilots, cabin crew, air traffic controllers, engineers, technicians or just interested parties.
Clearly, the facts, or lack of them, surrouding this incident are one of the reasons we are where we are 13+ years later. As frustrating as it can be to see a point raised go around in ever decreasing circles, it is wrong to imply that all points/issues have been exhausted. There are still, for some, a lot of unanswered questions, and this forum has, over the years, served to allow some individuals to persue lines of inquiry that may not have been started but for PPrune.
