What a sorry, misguided rabble you are.
I, for one, am with Mr Dudley (that admirable fellow) one hundred percent - when he eventually comes up with his usual reasonable, plausible and well researched analysis of this misconception of a perfectly normal procedure.
His experience and understanding of the operational aviation environment is far beyond any miserable understanding of yours.
In fact, I believe he may have been a Business Class Passenger several times! Can you imagine?
I know for a fact that he has far more knowledge of the application of spin techniques than any of you malingerers.
I also know that he treats truth and decency as a way of life. As evidence I offer the public handling of the various TAAATS (near) disasters and the last ATC EBA.
regards,
Clothears.
PS. I have heard that some misinformed souls cling to the opinion that the operational aviation environment is no place for
PR spivs. FOOLS! GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
