Whilst some of the comment in this forum represents the real professionals in the industry, other aspects suggest that the professional quality is in decline. An emerging concern should be if incorrect or ill-informed comments are influencing the new or inexperienced pilots or unwary management
Has always been a problem on pprune, separating those who really do sit in the front row, and those who are, at best, flight simmers. If you remember our famed SSG he presented himself as a highly credentialed aviator, whereas the reality was the nearest he got to a real aircraft was as a pax in 45C. His views on V1 were a case in point, where an upcoming lad/lass may have taken on board his ludicrous notions because of his self proclaimed "expert" status. Avid flight simmer, and sucked a lot of people in, even professionals. So
How about showing us which quotes you feel are incorrect so that the inexperienced will know what not to believe
is a bit difficult when even the professionals can have widely disparate views at times on a particular subject.
