> It is a bad thing and anyone who thinks otherwise is acting in bad faith.

The problem is that there are people who genuinely believe it is not a bad thing.

> Bad faith (Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another.[1] It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service.[2] It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception.

I would recommend reading about the Friedman Doctrine and the time period where it came about. It is only a theory and not necessarily a good one.


Are you honestly surprised?


The ignorance on this site is a sight to behold at times. A further risk to the aircraft and crew is not to be taken lightly...
