All that has changed is the reality of cost to execute the mission.. Or shall we say the "tools" to execute the mission have been limited to not allow the mission to be successful.
Man, this could be one of those questions they might ask you when you try and rank up their Captain.
Can you process good decision making skills and restraint to not force something to happen that knowingly can not be successful based off the tools you have been provided from the start.
Captain, Your mission is to get yourself and 5 of your men across the river. Non know how to swim. You can only go across one time and can not go back.
The boat you need that holds 6 people is gone. All that is available is a 2 person kayak.
What do you you do?
A. Pick your favorite and leave the 4.
B. Pile all 6 onto the kayak and hope the weight does not sink the kayak killing all of you instantaneously.
C. Acknowledge you can not get across with the tool provided. Wait until the ferry shows up to safely pass.
You will note that the European component of the mission has been scrubbed. Therefore, the airframe required to do the CONUS only job has been reduced in size accordingly. Whether the cabin of a Lear 55 exceeds the pods in a dreamliner is perhaps debatable, what is not debatable is that I don't have to see people, and for that, I will be grateful.
