I'll be giving a session on this very topic, addressing Boeing's trial working solution to these very concerns (plus more), at SHARE in San Francisco in August. I'll be glad to send you a copy of the paper when I get it ready (Probably not until a few weeks before the conference) if you want. "You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice." -Motto of the Darwin Society Gordon W. Wolfe, Ph.D. (425) 865-5940 VM Technical Services, The Boeing Company
