Nothing about the original question suggested that it was limited to
operations governed by Part 121, and in fact subsequent follow-ups by the
original poster made clear it was NOT limited to those operations.

Pete and Bob,

I really am mortified at having been somehow being the cause of all
this.

I can't remember one mail from Bob that doesn't have a smiley, and I
can say the same very thing about Pete's posts too. Despite the
obviously dunce-type questions, and being a guy who has 22000 flying
hours, Bob hasn't once lost either his equanimity or his sense of humor
- and neither have you, Pete!

The Internet can at once be great - in being able to afford platforms
for almost near-instant mesh of brains/ideas/opinions - and misleading.
Remember that a writer's tone can't always be judged well enough, and
it's best we don't lose sight of that. I'm too well aware of the impact
of a remotely written word, having lost count of the number of times
that remarks made in jest (I'm incurably flippant) on other Groups have
had people flying off the handle and all that sort of thing. I recall
one earlier occasion too, when someone yelled at Bob at being arrogant
and I thought, "Jeez this is so unfair to a cove who's clement all the
time".

Not only did I not want to mitigate the load on Bob - like he said,
there are at least a couple of doubts that I keep throwing at him
almost each day ) I wanted to get a feel of how the rules were in
various countries, suspecting that India was stuck in a time warp of
sorts. Btw, I've no clue what either Part 91 or 121 is )

Keep the cheer; if it isn't worth a smile, it isn't worth it at all )
