PPRuNe is primarily inhabited by European pilots, perhaps even mostly by UK pilots. You will find a lot of anti-American sentiment there. They think all U.S. flying is populated by cowboys and regulated by more cowboys (FAA). Fly single engine VFR at night? The horror!

Airline pilot central is ok.

Jetcareers is an extreme left wing playground and has been worthless for 10 years.

There was a lot of good on JC back in the day.

IMHO completely jumped the shark on election day 2016 and has never been the same.

Don't overlook Facebook groups. I can't speak to fix wing, but there are several good helicopter groups.

At least for the Maintenance and related side of the industry this is the correct answer.

Most of the other places seem to be frequent flyers constantly bitching and a few knowledgable posting.

I spent hours upon hours on JC back when I was a young (unmarried) pilot and was close friends with some of the most prolific folks there.

It’s such a shame to see it become such a hostile place.

Have to admit, though, JC launched a crapload of professional pilot careers. Doug Taylor is probably responsible for 50 pilots being hired at Delta alone.

He has been hugely beneficial for lots of folks, especially with his NJC events in Vegas.

But in recent years he started really chugging the koolaid. When I saw his rant about how selfish it was to have kids I was done.

Would agree,
If you filter out the flotsam/jetsam there is occasionally info to be gleaned that is pretty inciteful.
Some of those guy are definitely salty and have been “around the block”

I enjoy reading AvWeb and once in awhile, poke in at Bold Method and General Aviation News.

I'm not a professional pilot and will never be, so those sites have little attraction to me.

I think Purple Board is pretty comfy. Good on knowledge and experience, but not many Ron Levy types. They even have a Gun thread in the social section.
