I haven't read the seniority thread, but I take it that like so many F/A threads in the past, it turned into a slanging match.
That's one of the reasons I don't usually read them.
Of course many F/A posters are great, thoughtful and witty writers (particularly the Jetblast mod Juud, who is also female) and it's a minority that give the group a bad name. So much so that for a while F/A issues weren't allowed to be discussed in DG&P; has that changed again or was this thread in the CC forum?
Getting handbagged by a crazed flight attendant poster is part of the PPRuNe experience. I got slammed for something and to this day I still don't know what I said that was so insulting.
I edited the post to fix the grammar and then apparently it wasn't insulting anymore.
Now I have realised all my posts here are equal to publishing I think I may not have a job.
The bottom line; if you choose to bag out your current employer online or in real life and they find out; don't expect them to be sympathetic. It's a risk you take. If you were a current or former Commonwealth public servant you would also take the risk of imprisonment (Crimes Act s70), which is why so few take part in these sort of discussions. Always assume that what you put on here might end up in a book with your name on it and you can't go wrong.
By the way, you're not the only female PPRuNer by a long shot.
There are also several female regulars who prefer not to make their gender known on the forum, which is fair enough.
With hindsight, Worrals Carries On might have been a better title to use.
I only joined to take part in one particular discussion...
