As Kreuger said earlier, how can this thread have spawned so much comment?
Because this is pprune.
Its populated (like our profession) by pompous know- it- alls who think they are right about everything. Yep we've all flown with them. Well this forum is their soapbox.
Its part of the fun. I love it. The "who can out pomp each other" competitions are fantastic
