"Anytime now the self-appointed defender of the realm De727 will pipe in with his 'he's only a PPL' post..."

LAFF is only a PPL....

While I never considered myself defender of anything. In my own defense, I'll say I've been flying since 1976, a CFI since 1980, and working in biz as a 121 crewmember since 1987. I'm currently a UPS 757/767 Capt based in Ontario, CA. Oh yeah, I garnered enough respect from the APC admins that they made me a mod here.

If LAFF see's me as a "defender of the realm", then I wear that with pride, as it seems the masses of experieced pilots that are beating him into the dirt at APC are starting to wear on him.
