I do not work for any media outlet, actually my company provided heavy equipment to the crash site to help their efforts.
The only reason I even signed up for this forum was to thank the pilots and show my appreciation and respect for your(their) jobs. Many people take for granted what you(s) do on a daily basis. I had no idea saying thanks would incur any negativity.
i hope for the sake of other pilots, they arent all like you.
I think everybody on here is on edge a bit over this incident... more so than others because of how the media is handling it. Piloting as a whole profession is such a small community, even those we dont know, we consider friends. There have been several attempts over the last few days of new registered users phishing for 'insider information' on here. So many of us are leery of new users asking specific questions about the investigation.... questions that we know no fellow pilots would ask.
