There is an interesting psychological phenomenon knownb as "Projecting".
Basically those that shout the loudest at a so-called "Out Rage" can be motivated by their own guilt.
From what many have said here, tho illegal, this practice of getting extra off duty crew on board has been happening for decades.
Avman's comments did not strike me as condescending, who hasn't driven their car or riden his bike at 100mph along the M4?
And Aviaco - that is not a simple ignoring of the rules surely! I wouldn't let anyone take my teenage son out on his sportsbike and smile at him "Ignoring the rules".
But anyway - like I said - those that shout the loudest frequently have the most to cover up.
For example those that are highly vocal over issues of sexuality frequently have issues with their own sexuality, "Projecting" is summed up in the well known "I think he dost protest too much!"
