Jeez tailscrape - some of you guys are getting a bit personal in your rebuttals of WWW - he may indeed be 'just' a fresh 737 copilot but that's a damn sight better position than 99% of the rest of us here have got. More to the point if you've been following this website for a few years, you'll know he's done a bit more than your average 'just an FO' and more pertinently that there is probably not a single man alive that's given more of his time and effort for free over the years to help and improve the lot of the internet-connected airline wannabe in this country. Some of the most informative and well considered posts I have ever read have come from WWW and when I see his byline I always sit up and pay attention even if I don't agree with it.
Anyway, to have a go at anyone posting opinions on this issue because of their so called 'junior' position in the industry is bollocks in the extreme. This is a very very complex situation and we're all speculating on the outcome, it doesn't really matter whether it comes out of the mouth of a PPL, a jet FO, or Chuck Yeager himself
I don't personally think that things are gonna be as grim as WWW says they are either, but I for one would like to hear everything he has to say even if it's doom and gloom. A bunch of hugely misplaced optimism has the potential to do a lot more damage to people's lives around here than a dose of sobering analysis.
Final point is that in my opinion it's personal attacks on individuals that bring this place down, not misplaced advice. Unless of course it's attacks on Ronchonner
