shoey 1976 - journo or not, asked a perfectly reasonable question.

I took great issue with Mr Shoesmith's attempt to extract and publish the names of the crew directly after..........
I suppose you'll be blaming him for making them go to the Sunday papers to sell their stories when there were a few shekels in it, will you?

I am a professional pilot, and I will continue to look out for my colleagues where I can.
A professional pilot you may be, but the question wasn't one for which a professional pilot's opinion was sought since it's not a professional pilots job to provide separation.
As for your two colleagues, they seemed capable of handling much more than a journalists enquiry last month, both during the incident, and after it as well.
It's doubtful they need anyone's 'protection'.

As for the 2.5NM separation, sounds good. Wonder if we can get that into our MATS Pt2?
