Kaptain N, You may well be right, but if you have read my missives in the past I am all in favour of keeping you animals well segregated from we SLF. :

Bubbette, I too have been treated with the utmost respect and it is also appreciated. What I am referring to is the backstabbing that seems to go on in so many of the Threads in this Forum. That these guys are responsible for our safety and that we seem to be treated with such distain by so many of them seems to be contrary to the first word of this site. PROFESSIONAL.

Wake me up when we get there

Dude one of the things you have to remember is that Pilots are just normal people who like you and the world and his brother get wound up at work and it can be very hard to express yourself at work, due to the fear of getting a bad name or being looked at as a lose cannon because you are prepaired to speak about a senitive issue.
So this is where this wonderful forum comes in and allows members of the 1 & 2 wing master race to come and let off a load of steam without any fear of action...
But you are right the is a lot of back stabbing going on but you get that in any job and any industry, and there are some dudes who should not be writing in these forums but there you have it.
Just remember we need to let steam off some how and this to me is the best place to do it!
Cheers Speedjeans

Catch you on the flip side!

Speedjeans. I take your point 100%. I hope you noticed the "Winking Icon" at the start of my initial posting. I just wish there was a forum like Pprune for my own industry so I could occasionally let off steam. Yes we all get stabbed in the back and, if we are honest, we backstab too when necessary (sadly)to further our own careers.

Interesting point Sleeping Pax.
In the last month I've been approached by two totally separate and non aviation professions asking if we could set up a PPRuNe equivalent for them. Hmmmm.

PPRuNe Towers--
I've written about this place (bloody journos, eh?) and suggested that many more industries would benefit from having a similar system. Hold on, I'll see if I can find the URL... this is from a UK trade weekly called IT Week. Includes happy smiling mugshot of yrs truly -- be warned.

There is deffo a market for community engineering like this. Turning that into a business would be harder, though -- marketing and support costs would not be negligable, although there are some interesting models in open source which may be worth thinking about.
