I love this thread!
It totally sums up the pilot zoo that is pprune. Monsieur Joe 90 Dar starts off with a great post about how we should remember that we're all part of a big club.
7 pages in we're all squabbling, about sexism ?
I took some chums flying the other day and we discussed the "culture" of ppls. It's a funny old thing. To fly you need some dosh and so are generally quite successful in your life. Successful people are usually used to getting their own way, all of the time. So you have a whole bunch of people who get their own way most of the time, together in a group where, by definition, not everybody can get their own way. It's not suprising pprune is 40% flame wars!
The wonderful counter balance that if you mess up you pay the ultimate price just stokes those fires a little stronger.
Great post Dar, great flame war everyone. Never let it be said PPrune can't find something to argue about! Even when the opening line is "we all decided to join the same club" it's not suprising somebody responds with "No I didn't!"
