I mean what's the point of pprunes existence otherwise?
Professional Pilots Rumour Network is what it says on the tin.......Funnily enough it was set up by aviators for aviators, not for spotters or passengers. There have been many calls over the years to disband the spotters and other non relevant sub forums and get back to proper discussions like Technical Queries, training issues, T&C's etc. Unfortunately as the site is now owned by a large profit focussed media group then I would suspect that there is a snowballs chance in hell of this occurring as no doubt they will want the hit count to be as high as possible in order to generate advertising revenues.
