I decided a few weeks ago not to waste the keystrokes and my energy on SkyLow. I think I'll get my final jab in and then go back to lurking.

Diversity is a good thing. And all of the negative jabs at the airline industry may be well deserved and need a spokesperson. SkyLow is as good as anyone for that job on this forum. Where he and I part company, seriously part company, is when he drags family into his argument. I'm an airline pilot therefore I must have neglected/abused/not considered/fill in your own term, my wife and sons. He has a nasty habit of doing it frequently even though he has no idea what the situation might be. And as I've written quite a few times now, in this environment it's not his or anybody else's business what kind of relationship I have with my family and how I have controlled (or not controlled) it. Period.

Wanna badmouth the industry? Drive on. Leave the personal stuff out of it.
