My point is that they are more than capable of looking after themselves without Fincastle and Desertia sticking their noses in.
Surely the point of an open, frank discussion/debate is that, on Pprune, everyone is allowed to voice an opinion. The fact that the opinion might come from Flight Crew, Cabin Crew, passenger or someone with a passing interest is irrelevant.
I could suggest that comments from passengers who are experiencing the best/worst of the current coal face dispute can be extremely useful in gaining the passenger insight. Whether to posts are genuine, irrelevant or conjecture is not up to the posters reading, if they are the latter then they get ignored/moderated.
Locking a thread down to just those who are, in the eyes of others, involved would lead to the CF style of ranting/raving and gratuitous 'back slapping'.
At least on this thread there is discussion and, where possible and with the exception of CFC, answers are provided.
