this thread may not be around for long
Despite this incident making headline news around Australia (First item on Fairfax websites this morning) and in the international press the ONLY discussion going on within Pprune is here.
There was a thread on R&N but it vanished pretty quickly.
The reason for this may be found on the Middle East forum, posted by mods on 22 March 2012:
Etihad discussion prohibited
PPRuNe will no longer allow discussions regarding Etihad Airlines, its employees, executives, agents, or other representatives. Such threads will be deleted.
So now you know.
