I agree completely.  The discussions which Robert mentions have been found 
in rec.aviation, comp.risks, sci.military, and elsewhere.  We could 
certainly use a single forum for discussion of commercial aviation issues 
and technology, as opposed to rec.aviation, which deals largely with 
general procedural aviation matters.
