Perhaps a dose of reality.

• Line Check Airmen is as close as management has to a "pilot to pilot" committee.
• Some Line Check Airmen enjoy being the "first" to spill the inside scoop
• Having the FO turn around and say, "yeah I read that on Flight Info a week ago" is a real buzz kill
• The inside information gets less accurate with each re-telling
• Potentially, someone might write something management, or ALPA, would prefer to forget, like, "Steve Dickson said if we vote for this TA there will be hiring this fall" when the reality is, hope you are nostalgic for what you flew half-a-decade ago, beacuse that's what you are going to be able to hold in the fall displacement.

Hence, there is no advantage to the insiders to have their stock in trade diminished through dissemination for free. So someone called a MOD and said "shut it down."

I'm pretty sure Mr. Anderson has better things to do with his time than read Flight Info. For sure, if I had his money I'd be trying to decide whether I'd get out the P51 or the Extra 330SC this afternoon.


The potential problem I see is a conflict of interest, if management really did come to anyone on this board asking for information that could potentially harm a fellow union member. That could be a pretty tough position to be in.
