Probably went to the same place the Jetscab thread went to. Ahh, censorship. Watch out for the thread nazis.

Where's that? Can we still post there?
How come it wasn't reported in the media?

I deleted it, not the moderator.

It was getting stupid. No one had any useful information to give.

And there were just way to many people giving advise on Airbus and Boeing systems and handling. Most of which had obviously no experience on either type.

Hey BK, good call.

At least you don't let the gossip get in the way of a good story.

I'm sure one day it will get out, but the powers at be are keeping the report close to their chest.

Mr Proplever

What was that you were saying about censorship & thread nazis?

There was no censorship of the Jetsar thread. There was simply a friendly warning that disrespectful posts were not acceptable, and that I would delete the originating post, and thus the thread if some contributors couldn't be respectful.

The result was an attempt to push the limits by the clever annonymous folk, so the thread was deleted.

You don't have to agree with all points of view. You can disagree and argue the point to your hearts content. BUT be respectful.

The following is extracted from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. Pray tell where is the evidence of censorship?


Main Entry: cen·sor·ship
Pronunciation: 'sen(t)-s&r-"ship
Function: noun
1 a : the institution, system, or practice of censoring b : the actions or practices of censors; especially : censorial control exercised repressively

Hey Woomera. Would it be easier if we just stickied a Kiwi bashing thread, and an Aussie bashing thread?

I was actually trying to follow the previous thread....'till it got zapped!

Could anyone let me know, at least what the rumour was. Something along the lines of an inadvertant autopilot disconnect on approach, descent to 78' RA over the Manakau Harbour (read: not over the runway of NZAA), and something to do with engines not spooling up quick enough.

No mention of it anywhere else so I'm intrigued if its an urban myth or not. Anyone have a date at least? Were there pax on board or was it a training sorte?

Cheers,
Dave
