AZR, that's certainly a possibility, but I don't want to say one way or the other until we know for sure. It's all too easy in this kind of forum atmosphere to equate the theory that the THS movement was pilot-induced with "blaming the pilot". I know they're not the same thing, you know they're not the same thing, but there are some who will get indignant about it.
