I used to enjoy this forum. I still come on occasionally to see what's up but my visits are always ruined by posts from these two notorious former AWA pilots. I don't know why the mods still allow them here. They are hateful, immature flamebaiters. They taunt and bully east pilots and anyone sympathetic to them. They make west pilots look terrible. They contribute nothing constructive or meaningful to any discussion.
For anyone following the thread on the US Airways incident in PHL this evening ( http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/sa...ident-phl.html ) you know that it has already been ruined by these two. They have already determined that the east crew of the flight is at fault due to their poor judgement.
I know I could just ignore them, or just stop following APC (which I mostly have), but why should I? This is supposed to be a place to be able to discuss the airline business and exchange information (and good rumors), not a place to come to be **** upon by angry, disgruntled pilots.
Please post here if you agree with me. This is long overdue.

 

Agree 100%. These flame baiters have nothing to contribute and can't stop posting about 2006/2007 Nic drama. Ban em!

 

I agree. No dog in their fight and they ruin every thread they show up in my throwing insults at everyone and turning everything into some fight that nobody cares about. I've had to close out of so many threads because they get lost by the rants of these two.

 

I disagree. I think these two should stick around. While they don't use the best method of conveying their message, I usually understand where they are coming from. It's always seems easy for an East guy to say "move on" about the Nic. The truth is the truth and just because it's been seven years doesn't mean people can just forget something this big.

 

Both are well on their way to permanent bans due to previous infractions. WD is temporarily banned....again... now. Eventually the system will boot them unless they miraculously figure out how to color in between the lines.

 

I don't think banning these guys will necessarily solve anything. There is a lot of this bashing in threads. Whether it's bashing Deborah Hersman, bashing pre merger pilots, or bringing up a failed checkride 35 yrs ago, it needs to come down to firmer warnings of people who continue to troll for an argument and neglect the rules laid out for the forum.

 

How many times do you have to be a complete D-BAG before you get banned?

 

There is an 'ignore' list you can use

That said, I don't use it, I just suffer.

 

Both cactiboss and wiskey have gotten the automatic 3 day ban achievement award.

It happens so rarely, I don't know. They are my top candidates for unlocking the lifetime achievement award.

The ironic thing is that I generally support their viewpoint in the whole arbitration thing. But, if you refuse to color inside the lines, I've gotta do something.

 

I'm not even sure they are coloring in the right book.
