72% of Pilots polled claim to have used SLOP. Of those 72%, 55% used it regularily with no side affects and the remaining 45% was divided evenly between occasionally cramping and a compulsion to sack their helper. Err sorry wrong slop !!
Jes kiddin, it would seem most do. I follow 404's example always!! Once you have seen all the aircraft passing directly overhead and underneath you see the logic. Also had many occurences where a sudden climb/descent was called for by ATC, followed by traffic passing within a few minutes. Too close for my liking as GPS is far too accurate !
