I'm a non-pro. I addition to that, I am a journalist. For 13 years I have run an MD-80 forum on the web, largely at my own expense. Over time, I have got 400 pilots on board. I have seen them use my web facilities to compile an impressive knowledge base about things you don't find in manufacturer's manuals. I have seen them advertise themselves and pick up jobs, paid far beyond what I'll ever earn; not a dime nor thank you coming my way.
Every major MD-80 accident or incident has been a professional challenge for me as an information worker; Venezuela, Phuket, belly landing Istanbul, Atlas, Alaska 262 ... to compile what bits of information there are to be put together for the orientation of people who know far more than I do.
Now then, Spanair 5022. MD-82, they say on the news. "One of mine". Couldn't make me roll up my sleeves and do it again, tired of this pro arrogance you'll have to expect every time.
So, inform yourselves. Show me how to do it.
