Chimbu chuckles,
Thanks for the view from another side of the biz. I think this thread shows that some at least, on the airline side of life are more than willing to question and if needed, modify our company procedures to produce what we think is a safe operation. One poster said that we were "scaring" him, but at least we are keen and interested enough to be having the debate at all. Most of our colleagues, I suspect, have not given it a second thought. I for one am very happy to have this kind of discussion and hopefully I will learn from it and take something onboard that will help me one day. Roll on PPruNE!
