I very much doubt I managed that on here as this site is mainly populated by the very vociferous, vocal minority of nay sayers and negative minded people. Hence my 'absence' of late, I'm bored with reading moans and whinges in here when I'm working in the real world with a lot of very positive people who have a "can do" not a "can't do" attitude.
The majority of the negative comments on here are posted by operational staff who have to put up with things that those with can do attitudes have brought in...
AMAN, N601, TC SE LOW changes etc.
Sometimes letting off steam is the best way for these operational staff who have to get on and do their jobs with badly implemented tools, or poorly thought out airspace redesigns. Unfortunately comments books etc are not heeded.
So people will let of steam here, and tell it like they see it - it's often a good way of getting frank and open discussions between different sets of staff.
I'd even go as far as to state that some of the threads on PPRuNe (more the ones of a technical nature, not the pay or pension ones), have probably resulted in some benefit.
