A recycled twist in the old mystique of aviation game

See if you can get the gentle hint in this story in today's Canberra Times
Air Safety Staff set to join unrest...

The nation's air safety bureaucrats are set to join unrest sweeping the Commonwealth government ...

But unions representing staff at CASA say they will not compromise passenger safety ...
Phew! Bless the nation's air safety bureaucrats.
[A union official] said his members at CASA were anxious not to cause disruption that might jeopardise passenger safety.

But the union official said the dispute might escalate if CASA's management did not make a pay offer soon.

"Members have looked at lower forms of action because they don't want to compromise their general duties, ensuring that aircraft around the country are airworthy," [the union official said]. "But if this is not resolved ...
Oh no! If they don't get a pay rise, we're all gonna die because no one will be ensuring that aircraft around the country are airworthy! Please give our saviours a pay rise!

Back to CVD...

Hi Radix

Funny thing is that every non-CVD pilot that flys in the aircraft is confused and distracted by the red up and locked light. It's counter-intuitive (at least for some people).

And pilots with CVD spot and understand, just as quickly as pilots without CVD, the meaning of the illumination of light that means "up", and the meaning of the illumination of the light that means "down", and the meaning of neither light being illuminated.
