Yes Techman, exactly
Until WE [inc me ] have all the facts.
Quote "I know the ATCO involved and SOME [my bolds] of the facts, but...et al
No I am not taking the "High Ground" or a "Moral" stance, and No not hitting below the belt.
Fact, 411A insinuated that any witness was a, p*ssed, b, incompetent, or c, in any other way just plane [sic] unreliable.
Fact, [just a "rough" calculation] I have watched1,825,000 [give or take +/- 15%] Departues. Very few have been "interesting",
06 single or 06L, a BCAL B707 off 06 in the wet, a VIR B742 [450pax] wet again. Both rotated "aroud" Link B/JA but 30% of PIA "Classic" Deps off this runway are "Quite" 10% "Rather" 2-3% "Very" Interesting.
This is not "Slagging" this is an "OBSERVASION" [speeling]
No, I do NOT consider myself to be an "Expert" on "Flight Dynamics" whether as a PPL, or Captain of a "Heavy"
What I am saying, is that "Not All Spotters Are 'Muppets'".
In fact some of the the "Spotters" are very clued up.
Any "Insider" info that I "may" have intimated was to remind EVERYBODY that only a few people have all the "Facts"
as I said "I don't", so let us ALL wait for the report [if any]

we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy
