Our goal with the forum was to build an online community of pilots - not a revenue stream.

While we are interested in self-enrichment - profiting from the opinions, expertise, and debate of the thousands of pilots who contribute to this community isn't something we feel comfortable with. We leave a considerable amount of money "on the table" by not accepting ads here (we get several inquires each day asking for ad space) but helping other pilots doesn't have to involve compensation.

Our mantra when we started Airline Pilot Central was "pilots helping pilots" and as long as we can find creative ways to fund the project APC will remain free to all.
