Out Of Trim,

I am not sure what you are talking about. I do not see anything.

Take Care,

It appears so greyed out - It's almost imposible to read unless you hilight it with your mouse. Maybe my brightness / contrast settings enable me to see it!

Out Of Trim,

I highlighted everything and nothing. Try viewing the Source code and see if you can find it listed in there. Just a though.

Take Care,

Richard

Out Of Trim,

Nice catch! I was looking under the forum list on the main page:

Reporting Points that may affect our jobs or lives as professional pilots
Take Care,

Richard

This is an attempt by a certain pilot to influence his Boss to reduce the number of night flights on his roster.

So far it has failed miserably

Ah, but I think maybe not! I notice a most welcome paucity in night flights due to my subliminal advertising. The 'decoy' has worked well but "ve haf udder vays"

Post Subliminal Messages

Am I the only one that looks at those ads above the forum posts carefully??

In a very light grey font is a variety of pilot friendly messages such as:

No night flights please!
25% pay rise and less night flights for all pilots!

Hooray, now to sell this to the boss

Good detective work there! How on the earth did you see that? I can only see the messages when I highlight the top of the page.

I just spotted that too, looks like you beat me to it E D D.

The we I've spotted them is not by looking at the text, but the formatting. If it centre formatted but one line is further over, or in the new one, a whole line is blank.

(As I watch everyone flying outside the window, while I sit at my desk because there is too much work needing to be done, not allowing me the time to go flying myself.)
