I agree BEagle.
See, you can put your point across without your usual pecadilloes and still get agreement from us because we respect your experience and knowledge. It is not the fault of the pawn-in-the-game career minded young pilot that altimetry procedures have been dumbed down to the detriment of flight safety though. Or the crews of UK airlines who didn't migrate from the armed forces. You may not be aware (nor care- and who would blame you?) of how you come across sometimes.
