As a long time reader, but non-poster here, and a far longer time aviator in Canada and around the world, I am embarrassed, disgusted, and truly appalled at the behavior of pretty much everyone here.
This is professional pilots/lawyers "discussing" a topic? This is what is representing our profession to the public? You people are like a cohort of school-ground children squabbling over a nickel for lunch. There is no wonder why the profession has eroded to the point where it is today if this is representative of the level of intelligence, patience, and communication used to further our cause.
To all of you sitting behind your computers posting this childish drivel, please keep you mouths shut when at work, because if I have to knowingly share a flight deck with any one of you it'll push me to early retirement. What has the world come to that this behavior is acceptable? Everyone shouts, nobody listens, and you're all big men when there's no requirement to speak face to face.
Truly disgusted.
Jim
