I was going to give you several examples of places where that attitude would lead to disaster, but decided not to waste my time. Nonetheless, LGA and JFK are a joke compared to HKG,RIO, CAN (That's Hong Kong, Rio, and Guangzhou, China for the student pilots).
This topic exists because, flying "...As Pros..." (25 years to date) these decisions are never, "...plain and simple..." To the contrary, they involve a great number of variables which require the commander to look back on countless hours of experience, in order to make split-second; potentially life threatening decisions, and, make those decisions correctly each time.
If you really believe that this sort of decision is "...plain and simple..." go back and read all the variables, then choose a different career. QUOTE
