Gentlemen, please...
There seems to be an increasing tendency towards intolerance among these postings. Some people seem to forget that these forums are open to anybody with an interest in professional aviation, not just those of us who sit at the sharp end. That includes SLF, "wannabees" and anyone else who is "interested".
Lets try and act like the professionals that we are supposed to be, shall we? It might be worth bearing in mind that the Press monitor PPRuNe, and if they see us behaving like a bunch of unruly schoolkids, it does nothing for the image of the pilot community.
