Er....no. I am perceived to be pro-consumer, but have regularly posted comments which challenge passengers who have unreasonable expectations. Just me... I am afraid all postings on here are "subjective"... which ever side of the fence you are on.
I don't particularly like the use of labels, but you have to start from the premise that this board is called "Airline Complaints". It is not the same as Flyertalk or Airliners.net... it's reason d'etre is to provide a single place where people can make public their grievances with airlines. Therefore it is
not neutral. It sets out to try to champion the consumer. That is the reason that the moderator has chosen to label those who are prone to challenge the consumer perspective.
If I was in charge of the boards, I would certainly not have labels. I would not even have "airline employee" as a label. I would simply post prominantly on a banner on each page which says "remember, posters may not be who they appear to be". Beyond that, I would leave it to grown adults to get on with it. But, I am not.. and the moderator pays his money and makes his choice. Our only alternatives are take it, or lump it.
Mars attempt to classify everyone is bonkers, but may be cultural. He is a big fan of Singapore, where regulation of every aspect of your life is routine. It is a highly ordered society, where you cannot chew gum, and it is actually a criminal offense not to flush the toilet. Bliss for control freaks, but my idea of hell!
