JT - you are well aware of my standing views on 'discussions' on a thread and the contribution to safety, I'm sure. All challenges to 'tradition' are always welcome as long as they are rational, and have indeed changed 'established' procedures in the past, as with the BA 737 fatal abort at Manchester some years ago.
You will, no doubt, have a shrewd idea of identity. IF we have a 'SSG' re-incarnation we are wasting our time here
May I draw to the attention of all, from another thread:

Level 3- Captain I think we are headed into that mountain
Level 4- Captain we will hit that mountain in 5 minutes
Level 5- Captain if you don't change course, I am calling dispatch
Level 6- Captain, dispatch says you need to avoid the mountain
Level 7- Captain, the chief pilot says you need to avoid the mountain
Level 8 - Captain, the stewardess's and passengers took a vote and think you should avoid the mountain
Level 8 - Captain, I am considering taking the controls
Level 9- Captain, I am really, really considering taking the controls
Level 10- I don't mean to hurt your feelings but I am taking the controls
Level 11- Now that I have the controls, but only have 200 hours can you confirm I am on on the right heading and will not hit anything?
from that I believe there is quite a lot he/she does not comprehend.
