It would have been much better if you had PPRUNE 20 years ago.
As inferred by several ... had we had this wonderful tool back then, the situation would have been managed quite differently.
As we all observed, disinformation was rife throughout .. from both sides (and disgracefully so). The dispute made it so clear why, in war, communication and dissemination of information is the first thing to be controlled.
The AFAP had a very useful, and well used, phone hookup system .. but nothing like the power which PPRuNe offers.
.. which is why, I guess, that many airline managements (and others) hate PPRuNe with a vengeance ...
