Exclamation Be Careful What You Say...

There seems to be a sharp increase in the number of non-pilots or industry folk posting on this board recently. While some are merely trying to say thank you, be careful of the sheeps and the wolves. We all know that there are folks out there who will use any opportunity to spin and misrepresent any statement they can get in either the threads or PMs. HLSD gave the same warning in one of the Colgan threads but, I felt it may be appropriate to send this reminder to everyone. We have had the same issue with reporters fishing on our company site a few times so watch out!

Stay safe y'all

True that! I got a PM from a dude wanting info on the crew of 3407 to "clear their names".

This is a public forum and everyone can read what is said here keep it professional and keep it clean

"clear their names" yeah right, what a scumbag. They will say anything and use any tactic to get you to spill your guts. In case you can't tell I hate reporters.

well I tried to even tell him not to bother me or anyone else anymore, and apparently he deleted his account rather quickly after me and The Juice gave him answers he didn't want... so I guess it won't be a problem anymore ... if I get another PM like that, I won't even try to respond, it'll go straight to the MODs

They make $25,000 a year to fly your mom home safely. Put that on the front page.

Or maybe they can do a story about all of those cool youtube videos filmed from the cockpits.
