Mate of mine kept doing "the right thing" but was placed under immense pressure for not towing the company line which was, for example, to fly the N Atlantic in a big twin with 5% of the last hour's fuel burn for contingency (honestly, because it was an ERA operation and the rules permitted it (!) ). In some cowboy outfits, keep doing the "right thing" as a professional Commander and you could be walking the streets. As a true pro, he walked, joined a proper outfit & never looked back.
