Post Mr. Hat moves on.

Hi all, I'm leaving pprune. I've enjoyed posting here and offering advice on occasion. Most of all I've enjoyed the friendships I've made. I hope we can create a better industry in the future. All the very best.

Mr. Hat

Well done Mr Hat.

+1 on Keg (again). Pprune for me is a bit like caffeine. Somethings missing without a voyueristic look every now and then.

Anyway, enjoy the spare time!

Nah, that's not allowed. PPRuNe's like ASIO, bikie gangs and the Hotel California, you can't just leave unless everyone else says so !

Seriously, don't move on unless someone's threatening you with a crowbar, we all enjoy your thoughtful posts. Take a break or come hang out in Jetblast for a while, lotsa fun down there along with access to Slasher's extensive MA 15+ picture library.

The main reason is that I spend a little too much time on here! I enjoy it a bit too much sometimes. I guess I need to focus a little more on my family and my career.

Mr. Hat grew from a General Aviation C210 Scenic pilot and went through every rung of the industry until making it to an Airline job. I feel my work here is done. I wrote the best possible letter i could to Nick Xenophon for the future of our industy. When I saw words I had used come out of his mouth in defence of our careers as pilots I felt I had achieved what I wanted.

I wish you all the best and hope this industry turns around. (if not I'll see you in Dubai!). Btw I'm not leaving my job or Australia.

Stay safe.

I too have enjoyed Mr Hats wise, sometimes contoversial views.

Pity we cant rope in a Ppruner to go into politics, Mr Hat or Keg, Chumbu, or one of a dozen others i can think of. Forgot East westloco.

I think wed have a better chance of them running the country.

The Ozzie forum is being overwhelmed with Qantas threads. It's becoming a bit boring really!

Mr Hat,
Long time reader of PPRuNe but first time poster. I have enjoyed your posts, started reading them when I was flying 210's now a Dash 8 Capt. No doubt you'll be back, maybe just to view.

I haven't agreed with everything you have posted but sometimes it has shown the other "view/side" to an argument.

All the best.

Does pprune have the "2 weeks grace" when you delete your profile like FB before its gone for good? Just incase you change your mind after 3 days and realise your addiction runs to deep?
you will be missed, good luck!
