Hi James Santa was still distressed about this issue when he arrived at my place. Good news though! Budgetary constraints have been swept aside and Cold Weather Gear is being added to the CASA closet (this has been welcomed by CASA smokers who will be allowed use of the CWG on their excursions to the bleak Canberrian streets). The CWG will allow Flight Reviewers to give a full flight review in an open cockpit in the European winter (no more Zeppelins required). A white paper has also been produced with a range of strategic options to encourage Donner and Blitzen to tow the line. CASA are now determined to check Santa's asymmetric procedures (as required with multi reindeer operations) and accordingly the Flight Reviewer will be AK47 equipped. Cheers Brian
