Not really an Aviation question I know, but with 2590 posts and counting, and opinions on all aviation matters that seem to get under the skin of many the “Systems Monitors” who cross his path I think the question needs to be asked.
As an avid Pprune reader and infrequent contributor I have noticed recently that the Guvnor only has to submit a post to receive a tirade of abuse from members of the community he is commenting on. Obviously with interests and opinions in so many areas of aviation he cannot be an expert in all of them but perhaps some of the Pilots who are so quick to respond should also concede that they are probably only an expert on the Type they currently fly and soon after they move on to a new Type they will lose some of the detailed information, yet they can still comment on many subjects without the same amount of abuse.
Perhaps the debate on whether he is simply an Aviation expert playing Devils advocate to promote
discussion or that he is a misinformed Airline CEO with too much time on his hands and some sort of grudge against the rest of the Airline industry should start here.
Finally, I’d like to say, I have not met and do not know the Guvnor this thread is simply to start a debate on the subject of free speech within Pprune without the need for flaming or degenerating another thread because the comments of one person.
