This appeals to me because I love anything dealing with aviation, you might love something else that I find to be an absolute bore and vice-versa. Is there any point discussing why we like and dislike what we like and dislike?
I thought there was maybe something I was missing, e.g. the speeds being extraordinary or something. I guess people are too trigger happy when it comes to downvoting a comment.

Ironically TL;dr. Not sure I got much out of it. Some of my best practices when talking to developers at my company:
-Do not leave voice mails. Go see them in person if you can.
-If your signature is longer than your short email and/or contains graphics, rethink your signature.
-Turn off HTML in your email client.
-Expect in-line responses.
The biggest irony of all of this is that I see so many technical recruiters who have massively long signatures with a bunch of graphics.
