Pprune mods should at least give us an explanation.

"PPRuNe will no longer allow discussions regarding Etihad Airlines, its employees, executives, agents, or other representatives. Such threads will be deleted."

That's kinda harsh.

My understanding from a friend who just recently left to go back to the EU is EY went after the owners or PPrune to release the details of everyone who posted some libelous comments about a hostie who wrote a "grooming guide" for the pilots. Several pilots got fired, others quit and ran, and some were threatened with prosecution. I would imagine that whatever settlement was reached required no more postings on EY.

Must be a great place to work!

Is "Etihad" arabic for Big Brother?

That was ten months ago. The grooming guide was such a farce that it had to be mocked. The mistake was the author was named on the board and EY used that as an excuse to go after all posters on Pprune. They do not like ANY negative comments posted as it affects recruitment so Internet Brands, the owner of Pprune, was threatened with legal action and they rolled over and divulged the identities of all the posters EY thought had been a thorn in their side.
Nobody was fired, a few were called in for "tea and biscuits" with the chief pilot, warned and made to apologize. The implied threat made all active EY posters be really leery about Pprune so most stopped posting and those who kept on toned down their posts, a good source of information is no longer available. I was a regular poster but only posted factual, or what I though to be factual, information, both pro and con. I also answered many PM's about working here, which all in all is not a bad place. However Pprune is no longer a source for us to exercise due diligence when trying to decide where to work.

Internet Brands also owns APC and there is nothing to stop for e.g. Delta, Fedex, CAL etc from threatening IB with legal action, and you can bet they will not hesitate to hand over any of your email address and or identities.

Put on your SAT hat

A. Grapes

Yes, but for a different reason.

One must be careful when trying not to bite the hand that feeds them .
