Different philosophies I guess. All of the answers to our questions are in some regulation or rule book somewhere, so I guess that would leave forums for less constructive topics.
That's a very valuable function of the forum. Keep asking your questions. Sign up for the ualpilotsforum.org as well. Lots of union people there to answer questions, especially those popup ones at the gate or in the middle of a reassignment when there isn't a lot of time. PDRs are also good as they go straight to union volunteers there to help. You'll notice many basic and repeat questions on that forum as well, perhaps even more so, like the monthly where are the FO bids or multiple (same) threads about vacation. After awhile it doesn't matter, helpful pilots just answer the question again. They're hiring 100 a month so everything is new to a lot of pilots, continually.
