"then - and not till then - is you bruv (or indeed any other layman / pax ) suitably qualified to comment on matters aeronautical"

Devil's Advocate, maybe you are playing the role of your name but that is utter nonsense.

I am not an airline pilot (an ex-wannabe), but I consider myself very well informed on matters aeronautical thankyou very much.

And besides, what about ATCOs, engineers, and even cabin crew. They are all entitled to their opinions on aviation matters as indeed are those who don't work in the industry.

Sort yourself out!

And what an excellent point Captain Pit Bull. I hope I'm never flying as pax with Devil's Advocate when there is an engine failure.

"There's a passenger who thinks that you have powered down the wrong engine"

"Oh what does he know! Tell him to shut up!"

It's 'I'm a pilot so I can't be wrong' complacency like that that leads to accidents in the first place!
