Jordan, you've obviously posted on the wrong topic, if you read carefully you'd see that all we are talking about is our pax. How capable the crew of the a/c feel they are to safely continue the flight/s. You should remember that just because there may be only one sector left that doesn't mean the crew are lazy, making a point etc. Once that gear comes up over the runway NOBODY knows how long it'll be before you land again. The crew need to be prepared for the worst and most of all need to be able to cope with it, there's only one person who can tell if they are, themselves. I would hope everyone agrees with that?
Somebody close to me always used to say, "I rather be down here wishing i was up there, that up there wishing i was down here". Are you telling me that most passengers would be ok to be at 40,000' with a crew that were not on the ball, happy to be up there?! For the love of the industry, surely not!
