Well, cruise speed of the various types of planes involved in a strike is a matter already heavily discussed.

With all due respect, m'Lord, whilst that is so, the critical fault line is if the one bomb group that cruises 60mph slower than the other n groups, is the one selected as raid leader. That will stuff up a lot of subsequent co-ordination DRs.

I have my own ideas about how the raid lead group is selected, but it's (anecdotally informed) guesswork at best. Experience, skill, leader aggression and air rating, that air group bombing accuracy stat (is that squadron related or pilot related or both?), they all sound like things the program might check. But I don't think the criteria for selection of the raid leading group has ever been de-classified.

I agree. If you could be sure that adding that lone B-17G squadron to the strike of 9 B-24J squadrons would only risk that lone squadron to fall out, well, so be it, you only risk 12 planes (or less). But as such, it’s a larger hazard.

For choosing the raid leader, the program might also check the air group’s ID number.

... I have absolutely no intention of being appointed to the Cour de cassation. I’m not even interested in the Court of Appeals, I prefer to stay close to the ordinary people.[;)] ...

Guess that means the ECJ is of no interest then.[:)]

But can I interest you in a sideways move to Alicante. For the lifestyle of course. Or would that involve in your professional life too much corporate contact and minimal ordinary people interaction.

Even less the ECJ than the rest ! I really don’t like international law, including (and foremost) the EU’s legislation. ECHR is not to my liking either.

As a magistrate, transferring from one country to another is not possible, as far as I know. Each country holds the judicial system to be a core of its sovereignty, and if in some cases it is possible to be appointed without being a national, it still requires to meet all criteria to be appointed. If I wished to leave Belgium to become a French judge for example (I’d be tempted by Britanny rather than the Mediterranean Spanish coast), I’d have to resign in Belgium, get my Law degree recognized by France (which would be near automatic, maybe just a small university cursus to learn the specifics), and then succeed at the French exam... before attending the École Nationale de la Magistrature for 2 or 3 years (where I’ll be with other prospective magistrates half my age...).

European integration is far from complete...

I agree.

Well, I do always try to write my final written submissions in a form that, with the mere alteration of a few pronouns, constitutes a good judgement.
