I think we agree here on the larger question, you're just mistaken in claiming my specific information is inaccurate.
Please accept my most humble apologies A Squared … my intent was not at all intended to say that your information was inaccurate … I was simply pointing out that long before the revision you cited was made to the manual, there was universal understanding among the tanker crews that the barn door on the back was something that deserved the greatest respect! And it’s nice to know that other members of that particular union participate in this forum! Welcome aboard!
