Oil Can, my basic point came down to honesty, a point that you yourself are now making. With that I think we can agree.
I also agree that for now this thread has probably run its course.
The CoC does deserve time to sort things out.
I am happy to bow out for the moment. Where I am sure we disagree is the role this thread has played in the decisions taken earlier this week. But we could argue about that forever and we will never know for sure.
Good luck and safe flying to the crews.
