Anonymity often provides a refuge and shield, for not only the uninformed but also the concerned, who do not wish for reprisal. It is our duty to weed the chaff from the wheat, to read these posts with an eye for discernment. Prior to the Internet it was fairly easy, publishers and editors were responsible (or not) for the information they presented under their logo. Now any old duff can disseminate (dis-) information under a panoply of guises.

There are obviously some genuine airline pilots and union members who are posting under their legitimate auspices, but there are also a number of imposters. It is often difficult to determine from just one or two postings. No I don't keep a list. Those that are flying for a living, I respect and value their input and judgments, whether in accordance with my own or not.

Now blatant scabs I can do without. Whether Eastern, Ansett, or others.
