Im really puzzled by the type of people who visit airliners.net
They are literally obsessed with airplanes. They act like sports fans when it comes to airline companies. Many of them know fleet registrations, schedules, status of airplanes, etc. and they dont even work in the industry.
So my question is, are people like that harmful to aviation? Are they the reason companies can get away with short changing their employees, especially the pilots? As long as they put on the fascade to their loyal sports fan customers, they wont have to change their model much, just keep lowering the salary and keep laying off people?
Also, is it harmful when people like that are so obsessed with airplanes, they dont mind taking pilot jobs for pennies?
Or am I just crazy?
