This is all incredibly pathetically childish.
Why is it that such as important issue as the air safety of Australians is presented by people who hide their real names?
Because they think the whole issue is a joke - that's why !
If they were genuine they would not only put their real names on PPRuNe- they would also contact the media to get their views across.
They don't because it is all a con!
Hell, pretty radical
Dick!
You see, old mate, posts like that do you no favours. The people that post here
are concerned with aviation safety; otherwise they wouldn't make the effort.
As for the comment that 'the whole issue is a joke,' it seems to me that you are demeaning yourself unnecessarily by making such a gratuitous observation
Nobody, me included, wants to see an Australian icon embarrassing himself with what appears to be a dummy-spit. What I regard as the emotive stuff should be beneath you. I am consistently disappointed that emotion seems to overtake practicality, given your substantial achievements.
Regretfully, I suppose we just keep arguing the toss.
