Speaking as someone working one's way up into and through the professional ranks, I've always found it really useful that rotorheads has such a mix. I've met great people, seen shining examples and dire warnings, had plenty of encouragement, and learned a lot. I tend to check prooon in spare moments around doing other things, so it's nice to have everything in one place - splitting it out into sub-fora would probably mean I'd miss stuff. So another vote for the status quo.
