Pardon me for dropping in again, but this particular forum doesn't translate well in the neutral observer/adult world.

As an aviation buff and some prior business, I'm lightly familiar with some of the issues being discussed. However, some on this thread are doing a great impersonation of a few first graders in a too-small sandbox. A few more adults and a few less children might do wonders.

Seriously, this is a public website. You guys are running a high risk of doing yourselves a disservice.

I fly the new UAL a lot (and the former CAL and former UAL). I'm having a difficult time establishing an adult connection between who and what I see entering the flight deck and what I'm observing on this forum.
