this on another forum (ATS), covering why I got into debunking chemtrails. debunking other stuff sort of grew from there as a general intolerance to people telling me drivel.
I won't put it in quotes as that would just make it longer!
"There's been a few posts in a thread lately where chemmies have "pondered" why it is people spend time debunking this hoax.
So I'm going to tell you why I do it.
The main reason is that it slanders me. I have worked for a couple of airlines - I have seen the aircraft I worked on leave persistent contrails that have spanned the horizon - I know they were the a/c I worked on because there were only a few large jets in the county I was in when I started my career as an aircraft mechanic in the 1970's.
Since then I have worked in various aspects of aircraft maintenance - I have overhauled components - fuel & pneumatic systems mainly. I have worked "on the ramp" - receiving and despatching aircraft on passenger flights.
I have planned the maintenance on large passenger jets - turning the manufacturer's recommendations into working instructions for mechanics and assembling those instructions into packages of work for them to accomplish over time frames from overnight to 4 weeks.
I have been a quality assurance engineer- auditing the work of every aspect of the airline maintenance activity from the Chief Engineer's carrying out of is duties to the cleaners using the correct detergents.
I have also worked for a civil aviation authority as a quality auditor - even unto interviewing the CEO's of airlines to ensure they are aware of their legal responsibilities, and, again, everything downstream of there. I have also been deeply involved in the investigation of aviation accidents (although I have never been a specialist investigator), and the analysis and provision of safety trend information.
My career is not actually untypical of many long-service mechanics and engineers as they move through different aspects of aviation.
I also work alongside a group of people with similar backgrounds in aviation - from former international pilots to ag-spray pilots to people who have owned their own aircraft maintenance firms and everything in between.
So it is my contention that if there was "something going on" then I would know about it.
And I have never seen anything remotely resembling what is postulated by the chemtrail myth.
So when you say it is happening, and that I am a paid Govt shill, etc., you are slandering me.
The myth is BS, and your accusations are more BS you have made up because you can't face being wrong.
And don't start with compartmentalisation, maybe my airline wasn't doing it, maybe they did it all when I wasn't around and all that other crap you come up with to try to save your myth.
The aircraft have no systems for spraying anything - except for those that we all know that do - Agricultural, pesticides, water bombers, etc.
The fuel is rigorously tested - the fuel components require the fuel to be as specified - start screwing with that and you will start getting fuel component failure which leads to engine failures. There are no unknown tanks on aircraft, no unknown systems - everything is documented and has to be in its place - heck even a bolt that is made by the wrong people is cause for a massive investigation!!
I don't expect this to convince many true believers.....but at least you don't have to ask stupid insulting questions about why I debunk any more! "
