Knowing the facts
smallpilot: I am with you! Remember when I first became a Flt Ops Inspector and invited to dinner by a crew after a checkride. Both pilots began to add salt and pepper to their meals as soon as waiter set the plates on the table. An experienced (Senior) Checkpilot, wispered to me: "... making a decision with-out knowing the facts!"
I always remember this when I am about to open my mouth to speak when I do not have the facts.
Cheers
