Crab@SAAvn you are lucid as ever.

And it is true that "Experience is something that you wished you had a few moments before".

Overconfidence is a killer. How many pilots have returned to a crew room with tales of woe and thanking God they "got away with it". Of course those you do not hear from are those that "did NOT get away with it".

The impresion that some are giving is that it is a slur on their abilities to infer that landing is sometimes the better option, indeed some are quite blatent in their opinion that rules are for obedience of fools and the guidence of wise men. Well, not a great deal of wisdom is being demenstrated by some.
