You were asked "When was the last time you had to make a decision with a limited amount of choices?" Your reply was "Most days - unlike Monarch crews."
Perhaps your choice was whether to have the Chicken Tikka instead of the Madras? Or maybe it was to read The Telegraph because The Mail was not available? Hard choices without a doubt. You may find that the choices available to the Monarch crew and the pressure they felt that day made things a bit more tricky. If you have never been there you will never know. I suspect most of the professional pilots reading this forum will have a quiet satisfaction hearing of their colleagues facing a difficult situation and dealing with it well.
Mind you, you could always have had a vindaloo....now that is a difficult choice.
