This thread has hit a nerve for more than just a few users, which by itself is not a bad thing. A healthy discourse and even a heated debate are welcomed and encouraged here.

That said, we do have an level of civility that we expect from our forum users. As a working pilot, you are welcome on our forum and we appreciate your participation, although I'd request that you make a salient point and argue your case without lowering yourself to name calling.

I'm not asking anyone to hold back, just take the verbal high road when your "giving them both barrels".

All the best -
