Scroggs
Whilst there is little point fighting a system that isn't likley to change because we moan, doesn't mean to say that we should lay down and accept it wihtout comment.
The truth is that Gazeem an others have a perfectly legitimate complaint in that discrimination is being practised by certain airlines. In reality we must jump through their hoops, but whilst this discrimination may not be unlawful, the whole culture that this website has fostered over the years is being demonstrated here on this thread. It is a legitimate comment from Gazeem and others and one which should be treated with support rather than patronizing impatience.
As a an airline pilot, I would be inclined to look within yourself as to your suitability for the job of moderator on a Wannabes forum.
Wannabes need support. They don't need to be put in their place.
