Gosh, as a new boy to the the web, it does seem to get a bit personal. Now retired, I really do enjoy all the Pprune stuff & when inclined, usually jump straight to the Mid East section & start with GF where I spent 17 years. I agree with all who fight hard for freedom of speech, on any forum page.Brassy has a total right to target any section or, like me, have a good read through all of it and comment wherever he likes. Ironbutts keeps it to the point, succint & informative, mostly, very polite. Not really worthy of personal attack. As he says, everyone to his own. My heart bleeds for a place that was terrific fun for me, mostly, great Company to work for, the most talented bunch of pilots I ever worked with & I do miss a lot of it. I wish the Country & the Company nothing but good things and safety to all I flew with & remain there. Oh, by the way Ironbutts, I still dine on your fabbo check-out of me into Katmandou. Great story and it buys me a few free JD's & coke ! Glad you are still happy. Now, I am going to press FL Change......................where the hell will it take me ?
