If you follow Randy's suggestion and tcook052's link above, I'd support such an environment. I'd actually broaden it to more than just pilots: I'd make it more of an "aviation nerd's hangout," since we have PLENTY of those on FT. Right now, discussion of aerophile things happens sporadically in individual forums, but many times, it doesn't have anything to do with a particular airline, and better answers and discussion would likely happen if such questions were exposed to the broader community of pilots and aviation geeks, rather than just a few that frequent a given airline's forum.

While Randy's suggestion to partner with another forum that specializes in such talk sounds good in theory, in reality, there's just one: Airliners.net, and I've been turned off (even just reading) both by the culture apparent there and the fact that you need to pay to participate. I'd be very happy and supportive of creating a place for such discussion but with a bit more of the friendly FT spirit.

So, do a bit of research on the topic and get a few more peoples' opinions (perhaps post a question about this in some of the various Pilot Q&A threads) and formulate a comprehensive proposal with arguments in favor of such a proposal (TB members generally want to see that the demand is there, that traffic would come, and that it wouldn't take traffic away from existing forums) and get some people to comment in support of your proposal. I certainly will!
