Thought?!!! If we didn't have PPRuNe to vent our thoughts/concerns/angers and thus assuaging our frustrations, (and a great valve release) where else could we do do this-the bosses office? I doubt it-he/she is too busy. Newspapers-forget it. So win/win isn't it.
Not so quick, who else reads these columns? Loads of people in and not so in power, and of course they are thinking about Defences best interests aren't they? Careful chaps. Sometimes it is best to keep your powder dry and our using the openess of PPRuNe may not serve us in the best way--just a thought.
