It says Professional Pilots Rumour Network.
So it is ONLY a rumour that it is for Professional Pilots.
Surely you do NOT believe rumours.

I heard a rumour that there were professional pilots here.
But apparently not......

There may well be some here.
However, because it is a rumour network, you cannot be sure.
Don't believe anything you read, and only half of what you see.

Ace4bars girlfriend...he actually has 714.3 hours, not just 714hrs and he is now up to stage 6.5 with the Rat where he has to name all of King Henry the 8ths wives whilst standing on one leg, balancing a cube on his head. A cube that he had to construct in 20 seconds with his hands tied behind his back.

Sadly Tobzalp,
my Pee pee is small,
my watch BIG,
my sunglasses mirrored (and I wear them inside),
my shoes shiny,
my hair parted (still in the same style I had in the 80's),
my moustache neatly trimmed (oh $hit I look like Steve Vizard in fast forward),
my flightbag suitably worn and covered in stickers,
enough gold braid to cover my broad shoulders,
Have I missed anything?
Now where did I park my 74?
Oh I remember, just next to my wright flyer on flightsim 2004......
Cheers, HH.

All is fair in posting rumours..... hijackers should be prepared to be hijacked, edited or dismissed with all the lack of fanfare deserved. The alternative is go stir up some fun in JetBlast. 
re SeldomFixit
No wonder people here are scared to post....
Now AOA, I'd like you to be sitting down for this as I can tell it's not going to be easy on you but...........
Very few industries have as many teams within teams as aviation ( note I said teams twice ) all of which in combination are not a life support system for you and you only.
Strangely enough, this would seem to be a view shared by the site owner given the diversity of both the fora and the industry professionals who patronise it ( you REALLY need to be sitting down for that one given that you're now possibly wondering if there are people aside from aircrew capable of holding the title of industry professional ).
If it causes you so much grief to share the boards you may be happier finding a mate ( good luck btw ) who wants to polish your bars for you while you look down your nose at the rest of the industry. I won't call you a prat.............yet.

There are all sorts of people using this forum. Many are pilots who fly for a living. Most of Australias paid (I wil not use the word "professional", because on this foru,m that word seems to indicate arrogance) pilots do not fly for RPT companies, but there is a small group who do , and appear to think they own the sky. They call themselves "professionals"
We have some very good airline pilots, but let's get rid of the arrogance that we see too often on this forum. The most important flying in Australia is done by the RFDS, and air ambulance services. And they get paid about half as much as the scheduled airline pilots. Our system is upside down.
The white shoe brigade appear to be represented here very strongly, and are trying to get our older aeroplanes regulated out of business, so they can sell more modern, innappropraite costly aeroplanes that will not sell now. If this happens the people of the outnback will be deprived of essential air services.
Our government aviation organisations seem to have people posting here. (unoficially?) I think they are helping the white shoe brigade.
Who are the moderators?

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I object to this on two levels, one being while I generally agree with your statement, some of the work done by RFDS especially where I live, is non essential and could just as easily be done by road or by one of the many private companies on a user pays basis.
Secondly, I am employed by a regional airline and do earn less than an RFDS pilot even if only marginally, however my work is neither more/nor less important than theirs. I quite often carry medical staff for our local hospital, along with police, fire and other emergency services.
Cheers, HH.
