I'm not going to waste your (and my) time going into the value placed by certain people here on the CC role in general. You're so incredibly well-informed and perceptive that there would be nothing that I, or indeed anybody, could possibly do to change your views in even the smallest way.
Instead, I 'll just have to rely on the old claw-hammer to the head technique, and remind you all to be respectful of the role while on PPRuNe, even though by now, we all know that you don't really mean it and are doing so through gritted teeth.
I, and my friends and colleagues working as CC throughout the industry, do our jobs diligently and with some pride, and (yes I know) with some skill. We are not striking, or proposing to, and I simply will not tolerate vicious sniping any more.
