Christ Diesel Fitter, if your implication is that pilots should not have an opinion, then you obviously don't understand the nature of the beast. I thought the thread was going along nicely. Sure some Chinese whispers creep in, but that's almost inevitable.
Usually when someone accuses pilots of lining their "members" up, its more often than not by a person with zero or at least limited aeronautical experience. Say maybe an engineer who sees pilots as overpaid underworked primadonnas. Ironically that can sometimes be the case, but remember, this is a PROFESSIONAL PILOT'S forum, and among the collective experiences to be found here are opinions earned over many thousands of hours FLYING EXPERIENCE. Something that non professional pilots can sometimes fail to grasp.
If I am off the mark here, I humbly appologise in advance
