Mutt, you misunderstand me - I'm with you! I meant what I said! What you describe (40% reduction) is what happens on my aeroplanes and I remember when the Tmaxflex went up from Isa+45 to Isa+60 we received an incomprehensible email from the Company Tech Pilot about it. I guess that AI are a bit slow in amending the guff.
As an aside, we are forbidden from approaching AI direct ever since a pilot tried to get them to say that one of our SOPs was a bad idea!!
Happy days!
Cheers
