communication on the internet forum is imprecise...
yikes
we are pilots talking to pilots...sometimes we are cryptic, it is our way.
we use one word that covers many in radio work.
we chat on this forum as if we were in the ''ready room'' talking things over with our fellows.
I don't always agree with Nigel, but I wouldn't point at his posts as imprecise.
when we don't understand, we should ask questions...say again
Someone indicated that when the airlines were regulated we had more plane crashes...true. But we have more safety gadgets now, more experience and we shouldn't be repeating accidents from 20 years ago.
30 years ago the US airline industry was deregulated. IF it had remained regulated, adding new safety gadgets to the cost of a ticket, things might even have been safer.
cryptically yours
