Some people need to get a life and focus on the more important things in aviation such as fatigue!
Perhaps the increase in fatigue and the deterioration of our profession are the reasons of so many pilots having a brain fart and transmitting on the wrong frequency in the first place?
The point has been missed, perhaps due to the aforementioned fatigue.
What I see bieng discussed as a problem is not accidental transmission on guard but the deliberate and childish act that is akin to internet trolling. Internet trolling is an annoyance, misuse of guard frequency could have fatal consequences. Sadly, whilst people like Capt Claret above have that attitude then nothing will change. I do hope he has nothing at all to do with pilot training.
