".....a dozen pilots will come up with a dozen different ideas ...."
Reading back through the thread, this is exactly the reason why I posted this. The confusion is not acceptable. We should know what our company does, what the regulations are and what safety we are assured. If not we tell the company, and prepare ourselves for the safest course of action.
Hope this thread enlightens all of us and makes us safer.
Mutt - I am indeed concerned as you. Hope you enjoyed that pint. I am off flying...safe flights to all of you.
