Whilst I would not wish to fly for a company run by such appalling management as appears to be the case at DHL, like Tex, I would not object to operating into a war zone in my 747. I have just watched the Remembrance Day service and amongst the groups represented were sailors from the Merchant Navy. They are testimony to the fact that you do not have to be serving in the military to stand and be counted. If ever the chips were down I would not like to have to rely on Ignition Override or any of the contributors to this thread who follow his line. I am surprised that he is an American. He reads like a European.
