To Rhodes, and many others who are of similar age and experience, I would say this. Some posters here will write utter twaddle, rumour, peurile tripe and complete trash and qualify it with the expression, IMO.
It doesn't make it any more reliable.
In fact, it generally means that they are of the school of thinking mentioned earlier, 'The Captain is always right.'
IMO, these posters are a danger and extremely detrimental to our 'profession'.
They should be ignored and consigned to the scrap heap from whence they came. After a few months on this forum you will learn which posters to ignore.
If you want to learn how to fly an aeroplane, read the manufacturers manuals, FCOMs, Training manuals and listen to the people who train you. They are doing their best to instill in our you all the experience and knowledge learned and earned over the past 100 years of aviation. Anyone who tells you that they know better is wrong, an idiot and dangerous.
Ignore them and their fantasies.
Probably better to keep individual IDs out of the firing line ? - JT
Follow the book and be safe.
Happy landings.
BTW, my 38 years flying and 27.000 hours mean little to the likes of such professional posters/bloggers on this forum.
