As SLF, one who used to fly frequently with GF until they displayed repeated skills at losing things (baggage twice and a thundering great tractor tire as freight, lost 2 weeks in LHR recently!) I would be the first to support the drivers.
I remember telling one nervous fellow pax on a Trident into LHR one day "If in doubt, they GA" as she worried at the transition to full chat and clean wings. (That turned out to be a vehicle incursion on the r/w!)
Go for it guys - I'd rather be 15 minutes late arriving than not at all
