Being the instigator of this page, the policy and administrator of it for quite a number of years I am more than disappointed at the actions of some in trying to discredit the Federation for the technical issue.
Fair go Lawrie! Politicians, Unions and PPRuNe Moderators are always fair game!

You're losing your sense of humour!

Very funny!! TW you and I being treated in the same way. Now there is a first that some would find very funny if they knew our backgrounds and history. Perhaps an 'alliance' comes to mind??
Problem solved and those who want to bash can crawl back into their holes and wait for another sad opportunity.
Have a good weekend.

Thanks to the members who pointed out this thread and its bashing of the Feds for a service we provide to all pilots.

For the record there is a glitch with the provider which is being worked on and i do not have a timeframe when it will be rectified. The problem appears not to affect all at this point.

The Federation does have a policy to leave the page for access to anybody with an interest. Being the instigator of this page, the policy and administrator of it for quite a number of years I am more than disappointed at the actions of some in trying to discredit the Federation for the technical issue.

It has been effective in bringing together good information including recognition from the employers in getting results for their job ads.

Please continue to support the page and for those with a real interest in their fellow pilots (in every area of aviation) the Federation and the work that we do on your behalf. I look forward to more positive responses once the page is operational again.

Spot on, Lawrie!
Thanks for maintaining the jobs page, I really do appreciate it.

Yes, I still chuckle about those distant very different days. We both achieved very significant accomplishments, if at opposing ends of the spectrum! One day I must post your Ambit Claim on PPRuNe!

All part of the rich texture of life.

Josh Cox,

Get off your F*cking high horse. You have no idea whether I am a member or not, so pull your head in.

I was making the point that if the page is locked to members only, then I can't see employers wanting to advertise there anymore.

Furthermore, the page was in fact locked to members only at the time the thread was started.

Quote from my good mate Havick:

they are retards.. Do they not realise that companies won't bother advertising with them as now the ads won't be viewed by the majority of pilots.
I'm sorry, who was on their high horse ?.

Note that the page was never locked by the AFAP, some sort of technical glitch.

Locked you say, not on: my home computer, or my android phone, or my samsung tablet, or my wifes, or my daughters, or my wifes work computer or the local internet cafe.

Not locked by AFAP, see Lawries post above.

So, it wasn't locked to members was it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in your eyes, are we still retards ?.

Disappointed

Gotta say guys..this is a pretty sad example of "professionals". Aviation is a small industry and to be acting like this to your fellow aviators is just sad.

Pretty much everyone was acting like a child, name calling and really escalating quickly over very little. The point was AFAP was down for a bit...that's it. Not "Its my right" or "You don't deserve anything without paying". No. Just "Its down".

But as usual, it evolved (using the term loosely) to a mud-slinging match, all over a computer glitch.

Good on AFAP for continuing to provide a free service to help "the little guy"
