Thank you, Lartington, on behalf of all 767 drivers, for your timely warning that it could happen to us. Could I humbly suggest that your advice be extended to those who fly -C2 equipped A300/310 B747-400 and MD11, in case they missed it?

Having flown with the said Generals for more than a decade, I have found them to be highly reliable and robust companions in my endeavours to defy gravity. My experience with the venerable Rollers (RB211-E535) has proved equally satisfactory.

All things mechanical occasionally throw a wobbly, however well-designed they may be. That's why engineers constantly analyse performance, and we drivers practice an unexpected hiccup or two in the sim, every six months or so.

Like Kal C, I am curious as to your point.
