James, You have an extraordinary knowledge on these matters yet you hide your identity- why do you do this as it obviously prevents you having the influence you possibly should have?
Why not post your phone number so that Lefty and others can discuss the important issues with you- after all it is obvious that you have a detailed and in depth knowledge of the issues-more than just about anyone I know.
When I posted my phone number here I received lots of phone calls and had a number of really good discussions- I also learnt a lot as there are many things we can be talked about on the phone that are difficult to put in print.
There is no PPRUNE rule that prevents direct phone conversations on such important safety issues that I know of.
