When will the pilots in this forum learn to share with FA's?

A little background that may help...

As discussed, QF threads about/by QF crew are usually moved here from the CC forum: This was after numerous warnings and complaints from other users and as a direct result of the unacceptable behavior of many of those posting on the subject(s) in CC.

The threads were blocked and moved to DG&P because accusations were made by the QF crew that the Mods (and everybody else in the world, it turned out) did not understand and appreciate the supposedly unique style of Australian humour and expression being demonstrated. On the off chance that this was correct, we decided that it was better to direct threads in here (rather than simply banning individual users) where possibly, what passes for rudeness, aggression and triviality in the rest of the world might be understood as something else. Given the large number of Australians that we have met whose behavior and style had nothing at all to do with that demonstrated by the QF crew in question, it is no surprise to see that they are as welcome here as they were in CC.

Threads for other Australian airlines (VB etc.) continue to run in the CC forum: The issue is a QF issue, rather than one of nationality. Interestingly, the very worst of the QF CC muckrakers are equally adept at fouling the nests of pilots and their fellow CC as they are the airline itself. I am reminded of the deeply unattractive members of various European Nationalist political parties - they wrap themselves in the nations flag while espousing theories and activities that are the antithesis of everything that they purport to represent.

On a personal note, one of the reasons that I moderate on PPRuNe, in CC, is because of a desire to improve the perception of my profession by others - this includes Pilots. Every time that any CC posts something that is "anti" pilot, the cause of mutual understanding is damaged - we take one step forward and two steps back. We work in the same metal tube, with the same commercial goals, as part of a team, albeit with different roles, and a defined chain of command. Attempting to throw rocks through the flight deck door, in either direction, is surely an exercise in futility?
