RE: Time to abandon TAS?
Hello!

No worry, I knew what you meant to say. Although I consider myself rather a „European“ (born in Germany, grew up in Italy, went to an international school, worked in international teams for many years, speaking english at work now) I guess I still have some „gemanism“ in me. Speaking out straight is among it, no-nonsese at times. But I have the complete collection of Monty Python's DVDs also, so nonsense is not banned from my life altogether.

At work I have been trained since 30 years to be as precise as possible. When I require 35 degrees of flaps I call "flaps 35!". Not "could you please move that lever controlling TDTIL to the 35 degree position?" with TDTIL standing for "Those Devices That Increase Lift" only because my colleague might not like a possible other meaning of the word "flaps".

I think this thread is worth continuing. It shows once more what a mixed community we are on this forum. Everything else would be boring. And by the way: Did anyone know that Gustave Eiffel had a second surname (if "Eiffel" does't really sound French to your ears then "Bonickhausen" will even less) ;-)

Regards
Max
