Steady on chaps and chapesses. Lets have a Bex and nice lie down, shall we?
Bloggs - I never said you asserted anything about change of MCA risk. My point was that none of the contributors and Ron Lawford and DS et al, as far as I know, have any DATA and/or properly worked statistical comparisons based on such data as to what the changes of risk. It's all based on "belief" and "argument", however commendable these may be.
If it helps you, Bloggs, I'm happy to make a retraction of something I never said!
The further "sarcastic" rantings I made on safety - which could *theoretically* save *more* than one life were to illustrate perhaps a little obliquely the point that there is a big difference between asserting something *could* save a life (even if based on "logical" argument) vs something being practical.
Ferris, good on you being a top pilot - I too have never made a VCA - lets form a club.
C'mon, lighten up a touch. The subject matter may be serious, but we don't have to be at each other's throats!
Cheers
