Mistah Kurtz,
"Flight Ops management know this internally but still trying to get the message through to the higher levels of management."
On the contrary TCAS and Mr Ed are VERY firmly on the management side, they couldn't care less about doing the right thing, to put it politely, they don't give a s**t, as long as they keep the manager above them happy the rest of us can go to you know where
WRT what you said about MR8's post..... spot on
