feel infinitely safer flying with Ed (or most any other fighter
pilot) in control of *any* airplane than I would flying with YOU.

Of course I see the humour Mike...he writes very well, my point
was to let the unwashed, as you call them, know that there's a
damned good reason for all that 'standardization' and 'rote' when
dealing with cockpit communications.

As Chris M. mentioned ~'Make damned sure that everyone knows
what's going on'. And I'll even forgive you for knocking CRM
(because it's comparatively new) the biggest addition overall to
a/c safety that's happened in a long time. That opinion has been
gleaned from having logged about 13 thousand hours in multi
engined - multi place a/c

Not to change topice, but, out of curiousity, gord....
How many of those 13M were pilot-in-command?

Thanks, and
Cheers.

for over 25 years plus the strong
opinion of the NTSB and the AIB in Canada and the UK.

To argue against 'those' is merely to show _your_ bare ass in
public sir.
