Insulting?
Yes! I agree with 2 Sheds, if anybody wants to start a rational discussion on professional matters, they should be prepared to say who they are, with suitable caveats if they are at some risk to their career for asking, and why they want to know.
The Aviation Industry has had a century of being let down by reasonable sounding people who turn out to be sensationalists when they have got what wanted. Some journalists in the sixties were referred to as "Holiday Jet Plunge" correspondents as that was the only aviation phrase they knew, no matter how often they were told less sensational information!
Some of us have been around long enough to know better than to talk about the job unless we know to whom and why, and feel, yes, insulted, if people just launch into a topic.
