I'm not a site computer guru but several observations ..
I've made 3 attempts to solicit input from cabin crew about crm using the cabin crew forum on this site. Seemed like a quick way to get in touch with lots of cabin crew. Each time the moderators deleted my message.
There is a site policy regarding surveys and the like. Shouldn't present a problem in this forum in general. Protocol is to send me a note re the plan and I'll flick it up the chain for a decision. Keep in mind that there is a mod hierarchy and that mod action on a given thread may be by the "super" mods directly and not involve those of us who look after the day to day stuff.
they wanted a 2 day course specifically tailored to their operation but they were not prepared to pay for any development time.
Welcome to the real world .. and it applies across all disciplines, not just HF related matters.
couldn't see anything at all on the homepage about how to upload or download anything
However, there is no problem with linking to another site for the purpose .. a bit of a nuisance but it works OK.
because the site is free I think they deliberately make it a pretty erm unfunctional
I think that comment is a tad unfair. One needs to look at the history of the site's development to gain an appreciation of the difficulties faced over the years by Danny and Rob, in particular. Overall, for the intended purpose, the site motors along pretty smoothly.
