[official] Why SWAFO was banned

[Jetflyer]

Oh my god. This is whacked.

So he turned out to be a manipulating B*****d out to get a free copy of software amongst other things. Recently (having read the feelthere forum posts) I have to say I started to wonder if Brad was fake. This is obviosly the biggest downfall of the internet. The dossers and losers can misguide anyone into thinking they are anything, creating false trust situations. It is disgusting. This guy Brad was clearly very intelligent to have pulled this off for so long and to be able to convince people like that, but his sort of "intelligence" is better off behind bars.

I think that's a bit strong, we all make mistakes and we all pay a price. The situation has been dealt with professionally and compassionately by Dan
and the team, i think that we should all now move on and start enjoying the flying again.

I personally am not 100% sure he isn't a real world pilot. I don't know about the INS in the 737. I only use the 767
and I know they use a
IRS and not a INS. So I am not familiar with the INS. Perhaps a 737 doesn't use IRS only INS and he was asking
questions?

everything else. No doubt for me now! Thanks again Dan![/b]

I now dislike "Brad" but still luv Southwest Airlines!

As everybody else, I approve and support Dan's decision.

But I want to add this:

With all the recent allegations, it was Brad who had to prove his pilot status.

Dan didn't have to prove that Brad wasn't a pilot.

Dan was very responsible for FsP and the community and decide to reverse the burden and he unveil the "real" Brad.

I admire his patience and sense of responsability. He offer Brad to stay here without his false status, but Brad didn't want to.

I'm really happy to see the Community is behind Dan and FsP. Thanks to you all!

I think it's time for me to go public on this issue... Yes, it is the employee of the month thingy I suspect...


[EDIT FROM ADMIN] Please no need to add unverified "horrible" stories based on a name that you
guess only. Thanks !

Okay, Dan.

We all have diffrent opinions! I do like Southwest about alot of things, and others I don't. I would use them for domestic travel if I lived in
the US. No way for international long haul though!

[jetBlue220]

That was the article I found earlier, it is almost too...weird to be true. Has "Brad" ever mentioned his wife's or son's name in the forum?

I have flown Southwest once, and I think I'm going to stick to jetBlue for domestic (US) flights. To me, jetBlue's service seems much
more accomodating and every time I've looked for flights, Southwest has been more expensive than jetBlue. But, just my opinion I guess.

Dan,

I think I might have found something on "Brad." If his last name is what I suspect, Stanley, then
this makes some sense.

Brad's last name is not Stanley

No. And his last name is abbreviated as S because he doesn't want us googling his last name, Stanley with his first name to see that
article.

Can we please not turn this post into another slanging match against Brad, sure have your say on the matter, but dont lower yourself
down to others standards.

[WBHoenig]

Down to Brad's standards?

Sorry.

[WBHoenig]

Actually looking at there Status we have two new moderators Drew and Dutch. Congrats to you both

[pagir]

This thread should be about Dan's decision and not about bashing Brad! Flamming will lead us nowhere.

Yeah, I noticed that earlier. Congratulations, that's a great choice of people to be moderators.
