The point is that if you are going to invite pilots to make comments, especially about their colleagues, you can be sure that 90% of them will be erroneous. It is a notorious fact that as a professional body pilots just love to bitch and gossip BEFORE finding the facts and getting upset by what they say is a waste of time because they will not change.

By all means warn them, use a disclaimer and watch that no direct attacks are made (this is unacceptable) but the comments on this thread, for example, are no more damaging than the average pub gossip that goes on around the pilot world. Wheather you like it or not dumb ass comments will be made.

The Ryanair Commander and Crew in question made a perfectly professional decision, the fact that so many of their so called colleagues are ready to have a go at them proves my point.
