Deluded sycophancy
I have read with utter dismay, several social media posts these last few days where folk have started to refer to various pilots and even the Station Commander by their forenames, as though they are best of chums...get real folks
Please discuss...

Indeed, this incorrect and inappropriate informality must stop immediately.
Now, go warm the toilet seat, I shall be ready in 3 minutes.

It's Cringable at best,
At worst with what's going on in the world these days ( Marham attempted kidnap for instance ),you would think people would think twice before doing it just to be on the safe side.

Pongo ran in and shouted, bandits at 10 o'clock, silly rse told him it was only half past nine, hours

Sorry bad attempt at humour, too much familiarity these days, I agree with what has been said,

Disagree, don't think your average jihadist will bother with joining here or Coningsby spotters group for intel when the RAF put it out there themselves! https://www.facebook.com/RAFConingsby/ http://www.raf.mod.uk/typhoondisplay/

I think you are missing the point here Captain Black... the subject was about deluded idiots associating themselves with aircrew as a kudos booster...CaptainBlack wrote:Disagree, don't think your average jihadist will bother with joining here or Coningsby spotters group for intel when the RAF put it out there themselves! https://www.facebook.com/RAFConingsby/ http://www.raf.mod.uk/typhoondisplay/

Re: Deluded sycophancy
But also interesting that the Station Commander (Jez) is leaving for ventures new, should we have a sweepstake to see who is the first to befriend the new 'staish' on social media ?CaptainBlack wrote:Disagree, don't think your average jihadist will bother with joining here or Coningsby spotters group for intel when the RAF put it out there themselves! https://www.facebook.com/RAFConingsby/ http://www.raf.mod.uk/typhoondisplay/
'Jez' used as a reference, I would call him Sir...

Re: Deluded sycophancy
Jez , sir ? aren't you being sycophantic now or I am missing the point?
Anyway shouldn't this dross be best discussed on social media rather than on an Aviation enthusiasts site such as this?

It is also called irony
Re: Deluded sycophancy
Or indeed are they using names as a reference much as you did above>?

Bang on. Even if it should be it's certainly got nothing to do with what the RAF Coningsby thread is for.slogen51 wrote:Jez , sir ? aren't you being sycophantic now or I am missing the point?
