Manxboy, making comments like that is just going to make you sound bitter and twisted, and ultimately take away from any serious valid points that you're trying to put across. I have heard similar worrying things about AFT (more on the people management/beancounting side), but I would hesitate to slag them off too vehemently without substantiation.
Personally speaking, I would fly anything and I would consider rhs in an Electra a very nice position to be in.
