GGV
We also have some quite precise, black and white, right and wrong types who think life is simple and that drawing a line in the sand is easy.
The whole
point about safety culture is that we as pilots and individuals have the ability and responsibility to ' draw the line ' in todays 'real world' !
If my (UK)employer tells/ hints/orders me to operate the aircraft outside safety guidelines I have and will continue to say ' no thanks'. I am well aware of the consequences that may arise from such decisions but decided a while ago to worry about that if and when it happens.
I too would take people in the toilet/aisles/ cockpit if we were evacuating a war zone for example, but flying paying pax around Europe? Come on!
