Ye Gods! Disclaimer: I am NOT re-entering this silly argument over semantics... however, let's be clear, I (and others) will continue to argue the LEGAL vs ILLEGAL point.
It is NOT illegal.
Boys... look a the paragraph above.. which cites FED... trying to support the argument that Once Made... it CANNOT be changed. EVER. Now... (are you sitting down).. turn to page 71 of your 2001 FED CASE BOOK at look at 10.2.3.
Hello?? If this call change is ILLEGAL (it ain't).. then why does FED ALLOW IT??
TYPING SAVER: this is NOT a mechanics argument... we all know its a @#% up sitch... but it is LEGAL. (aka - No Protest).
Question: Does the BRD notate this "clear difference" in FED vs (alleged) OBR on this issue??
