I created this site as the original alternative to Bluepilots. It was started pre potato farm. I considered a Facebook page but opted for web board.
It was started during the negotiation process of Contract 1 as a unifying tool to “get the message out”. I knew many people stayed away from bluepilots due to its reputation of being very political and immature.
When I didn’t allow politics, some people called it “the safe space” and went back to thunder dome. Ok see ya. There are enough spaces in the world where you can rage your opinions all you want, jblupilots isn’t one of them.
It’s not a juicer or a hater site. It’s a collection of mostly level headed people who are looking for info and sharing ideas.
The motto is discuss the idea not the person, so personal attacks aren’t ok. Level headed arguments are welcome as long as the conversation stays mature.
Again, I find this site to be pretty good. I’d rate it second to jblupilots. I’ve seen a lot of webboards and most turn into **** shows. I won’t allow that to happen. I’d rather shut it down if became another space to divide people.

I guess I can’t edit my post after some time has passed so i just want to add one thing…..
I’ve had to boot a small handful of people who can’t help themselves. One being of the far left and one being of the far right. I also recently let go of a moderator who was a bit too reactionary on the left and couldn’t see that most guys have good intentions.

But you do allow for politics in its own sub forum where it should be.

Yes, I make sure it stays off the main “rumor” section.

Political banter keeps the board alive in between questions about the company or events that require discussion.

Bluepilots is an embarrassment and honestly concerning at times. One or two actual threads that are company/flying related on the main page and the rest is full of crazy conspiracy theories, far right wing ideas and lots and lots of hate for anyone who doesn't share the same opinion.
