And I hope every 747 pilot in the world reads this post and adds this to the equation of decision making.
Well I'm one of them and I'm sorry to say that I'll be listening to what my Training Captains say, not you. Your comments will be disregarded by everyone who operates the 747 in accordance with their company procedures.
Unless you get a job writing for pilots, not commenting to the layman, that is. Both require different skills and I think you commit an error of judgement if you think you have the respect of your audience here. Especially the 1000 or so BA 747 pilots.
Cheers.
