Well I was trying to work out your background and you remind me of a lot of old F4 guys I've come across - but I don't think you are! Also I don't understand the Bill Hicks thing!
My point was that unless you are currently actively involved in FJ stuff and have recent experience in a field then its hard to comment on. If I may use the mighty BEagle as an example - he knows lots about lots and even used to fly an F4 (I think) but I wouldn't really value his opinion on current FJ ops. Of course, I would never dream of correcting him on matters CAA!!
On the other hand I suppose this is a rumour network and is full of people spouting on matters of which they have no idea, so maybe I should relax a little and not worry so much!
Cheers
