Hi Flyblue, I think I’ll have to clarify the intention of my post. It was my impression. The impression I got was from reading at random, a thread that was very anti pilot. Not the sort of thing that's going to attract pilots to any forum. (Unless they’re glutens for punishment)
I know there are idiots on both sides of the door, but if you want to attract the right sort of flight deck crew who will participate in a constructive way to the threads, it’s best not to insult them at the very start. (Save that for later)
I’m well aware that people will post on both sites using different names.
All I am saying is that to be successful like this site, (grovel grovel…the Capt might be watching) you have to make everybody welcome. The impression I got was that it was a site aimed at CC. FLT crew were tolerated but not really welcome.
I’ll not disagree with you about humour…the funniest boys and girls I know are CC.
Cheers

Hi max_cont,
"The impression I got was that it was a site aimed at CC. FLT crew were tolerated but not really welcome."
Flight crew is very welcome! It is true that most of our members are cabin crew, probably because pprune was there already when we started. Once more; Pprune is a great site, I think you make a good choice using this board. But you are *very* welcome at AirlineCrew.Net and CrewStart.com!

Max Cont,
Personally I don't have prejudice against people's profession. I make my judgement on what they say, not on what they do for a living. I wouldn't be interested on any site anti-someone (especially pilots, since it happens I have one home, a superpilot with lots of stripes and acronyms moreover, that I consider the best human being on earth).
I consider myself a Ppruner, but I like to pay visits to Crewstart, because as I said, it is a very friendly place, and I think that C/C threads tend to go deeper there and be discussed more thoroughly than in Pprune.
True is that here the panorama is more eclectic, and it is what makes Pprune unique, and the most visited. But of course what need should we have of two identical sites?
Crewstart is different, but worth the visit anyway, for different reasons than Pprune.

Sounds like Captain Gossip should offer Fabulous Flyblue a job ! 
P.S. some of us are from the pointy end, and continue butting in to give our perspective even when not asked. I like hanging out with the cabin crew, hear things from their point of view. Like someone said; there's plenty room for both.

Hi Recover,
images in signatures will not work on Pprune. With the no. of visitors they have I can understand that; it would cost too much bandwith..
best regards
