Making excuses and accepting that "**** happens" is intrinsically wrong. You need to either go eat some humble pie or get out of aviation.
I hope I never work for the same employer as you.
Well, I've been a pilot for over twenty years, yet only gone scudd-running once, so I don't know what to tell ya pal, but sometimes people just make bad decisions.
As for humble pie? Nah,...I'd rather just have a big ego. It keeps me warm at night and helps keep my cg from getting too far aft.
