Some useful comments and theories there guys, thanks. But I still feel that only the instructor in the Sim can really see whats being done.
On the line, if it happened for real - confusion (or worse) will ensue.
Somebody made a crack about the age thing then withdrew it (or it was deleted by a Mod). I'm no spring chicken myself, and 'getting rid of dinosaurs' is not my point. I just found it strange that these quite experienced guys were doing this. Its just so basic, it seemed bizarre.
