Blue Eagle:
I don't know where you obtained that figure of one percent but what I do know is that this matter is of interest to the hundreds of pilots that now fly for Dragon Air and Cathay. Even you must concede this is an ever increasing number whereas your faithful are decreasing. In any case you and I will never agree on this issue as it is apparent that we are poles apart. The best we can hope for is to try and keep our disagreement civilised.
Yes I did mean celestial. The r slipped in because I broke my own rule regarding checking the English dictionary for the spelling of words that I don't often use.
Finally I am somewhat bemused to read your insinuations that equate patriotism with ( for example ) that notorious group known as the 516. Are you implying that I am a 516 er and if you are then I find this for any number of reasons most derogatory. It does you no credit. Regards,
