Fair point itsnotthathard.
Written late at night.
If you read a bit further up the John Boyd post you'll also see I was quite open about the fact that I am not and have never been a fast jet pilot... as I have been in other posts.
In fact I asked to be corrected if I was wrong.
I guess what I should have written is that I have a great interest in the operational details of fast jet flying.
R/e airline flying and corporate governance - the rest of you can be the judge on whether I know what I'm talking about or not.
