Camel: Yes, stereotyping I call it what goes on in your mind. Not my way of thinking. You call the Germans fond of logic? Just look at the logical mistake I made in my post and how Simonpro corrected me, rightfully so.
I fly with lots of Dutch FOs, and none of them are arrogant or willing to take unjustified risks out of overestimating their own abilities...
Don't you think it makes you (personally, not your people - where you from anyways?) appear arrogant?
Simonpro: Of course you are right to point out my mistake - what I meant to say is that the data for the mathematical calculations the predictions are based on are missing. No data has been collected from the atmosphere, not here in Germany. That is if the papers are reporting correctly, but I do assume they do. The DLR (germ. aerospce agency) testplane will not be done getting fitted with the necessary probes until Monday evening. So all the real data that exists comes from the test and repositioning flights - with no findings.
