| How long does it take until the "investigation" is done and a conclusion is found or formulated from the "Desk Pilots"?.
If he continued the T/O and there was a hazardous smoke behind the side wall or in the duct? what then?. Letīs remind us: In the past people died when appropirate actions where taken too late or the situation was not valued carefully enough and after the "little" smell of smoke the situation got more dynamic and accelerated. So better safe then sorry. Enough People died in the past. Prevention is a big committmend and costs money but does spare lifes, that is the #1 to focus on. I am confident that nobody calls for a reject, abandon, stop or whatever the Key-call is in your Airline, because he wantīs to go home and watch TV again. If you give a Crew a Airplane worth for about $ 200 Mill. then you should trust the "Call" as well. I would say well done and safed a few thousands pounds of not damping Fuel for the bean counters. Should keep them happy as well.
When the facts are here letīs find whoīs nose was sensible enough......
Fly safe and land happy
