Yeah, ditto everyone else and stuff....

Yeah, I'm guilty too. Not of starting them, mind you...but when somebody jumps up and says something outrageous, it's hard to ignore. (Maybe I should see a therapist...)

Mostly I would agree, but as was pointed out in Flying the Line II, pilots - and their unions to a greater extent - have to become both more business and politically aware. The author goes to great pains (excessive in my opinion) to relate national politics as a cause to airline industry troubles in the 80s as effects in order to emphasize that need.

True, many of us have "gone beyond the pale" on some topics - myself included. I would submit, however, that some of those topics are germane even if somewhat tangentially. More often than not, they start off on point but quickly digress.

Turning every post into a flamefest adds no value to this important resource, but so would purely cockpit-specific discussions on the finer points of VSo calculations and holding pattern entries.

Agreed. That's an excellent point... we must find a middle ground.
