Fair enough Lithgow, I concede, haven't seen the ops manual for over a year but I do remember a very intense interview with a certain DCP where it was spelled out to me exactly as I put it to you in my post above, no concession for the 3rd pilot if a seat was not occupied etc. Was the text you quoted me in force, say, two years ago or has it been amended since, say, November 2000?
Happy flying to you, for me, Happy Retirement!
