5150,
Cut the kid some slack? Are you joking?
I'm usually the mildest mannered of souls on here, but check out his posting history. Especially note those times he has felt qualified to play with the big boys on R&N's, somewhere I rarely tread as I know I don't have the knowledge. His theory of what happened to the AF447 is particularly impressive! Or you could have a look at the occasions that he has argued with those that really do know what they are talking about. The ones that actually fly aeroplanes for a living. And then we get a question that is blatantly daft and that has been answered already, if only he took the time to look it up.
I'm sorry, 5150, but I've lost all patience with this one now. A shame as this kids desire to learn could see him go a long way, if only he'd learn to listen.
Jsl
P.S. I did start with the he/she...his/her...thing but it got ridiculous, so HA, if you are a girl, I apologise unreservedly for calling you a "he".
