I understand about the desire for an "Airline Pilots only" forum. One thing that is great about this site is the ability for aspirants to be able to read and interact with real airline pilots. If there is a seperate forum, my guess is that the Pilots will flock to that, and the public message boards, where kids (or even adults with the wish to fly), will be devoid of any useful information. As divergent as the posts here are, they are all valuable. The learning that happens here is valuable - from the QOL of Regionals, to the extended rants about Scabs, to the history of the job, etc. Also - what about Military pilots looking to start a career?

Please think carefully about the Airline Pilot Only forum - it will create a huge learning vacum...and probably cause lots of people to go to Mesa, GoJets, or do PFT (because we wouldn't have anyone to set us straight! )
