There is no benefit to professional pilots here, unless you are a sky god complaining about allowances any more.

jet blast bans anyone who even tries to have a decent argument without warning or explanantion.

It's become worse than Facebook.

I'm over it.

Professional pilots are a minority on the site.

To be a professional pilot only means that you get paid to fly. It doesn’t mean that you are any good at it.

Nomore has already been back for a peek!

It's like a car crash. You want to keep driving by, but you just can't help but slow down for a look!

Maybe you should follow your own advice and leave pprune too.

I was attempting to highlight that “professional” doesn’t mean expert and intelligent. It’s not like flying a plane is rocket science and the caliber of posts frequently highlight that. If you want intelligent conversation, join Mensa.

I got locked out of Jetblast for querying a deleted post on the jokes thread (I think). No answer to PM's or emails as to why or for how long.

The thing is, nomorecatering, no one is going to miss you or even remember that you were here. You are just another number of no particular importance, as are we all.

So,Squawk.Please enlighten me as to your real connection with professional aviation.Or are you just another feeble troll trying to somehow catch a little vicarious fame in your otherwise meaningless life? Its pretty easy to pick those contributors who have actually gone the hard yards in aviation.Dont think youre one of them.

You need to stop posting after you’ve been drinking George Glass!

Hard yards? What does that mean, flown a dirty old 206 out of central Aus as a twenty-something year old? You sound like the type of person that is vigorously against parents paying for their kids cadet programs and moving straight to SO or FO on an airliner, thus bypassing those that did the “hard yards” as you put it.

We humans are curious creatures, we say/do one thing yet that doesn't remove the curiosity especially when there an element of a reply to the original reason why we wat to opt out of something, there in lies the dilemma. The best way to leave is to do it silently, that way no replies are forthcoming & the curiosity factor is removed:-)
