Sorry Phil Turner,
You've got me confused now. Are you saying that you were serious in your previous post?
What you write is too cryptic for my simple mind: just the sort of deliberate beating about the bush that could lead to misunderstanding in a cockpit (or anywhere).
I wasn't suggesting you were anything like that Dakota captain.
When you intervened in the Herald incident, how long were you aware of the developing problem before you spoke up?
And were you a member of the cockpit crew, or just visiting?
You say you have no wings.
Are you a pilot or flight engineer?
Have you ever been flight crew in a multi-crew cockpit?
If not, why are you presuming to take part in this discussion?
Chris
