Thridle Op Des,
How about you lighten up? I am well aware of his status and I was trying to help the chap. It seems that English is not his first language so I was merely trying to be clear and cover all the points - you, perhaps, took it as condescending?
I fly the 777 but the QRH still states that one should ignore a "Descend" RA below 1000ft ........... I accept the advice but I don't whine about.
