"...Did you go with only 2 generators (one engine, 1 APU) or decide that was too dangerous?
"Is that configuration more dangerous than the two generator operation I dealt with today? My flight had 2 engine generators and no APU.
"Which is more dangerous? Why?
"Would you ever accept two generator operations?. . ."
As a 74 captain at my company these matters would be governed by what's known as a "MEL" or "CDL" [minimum equipment list/configuration deviation list] . . . approved operating protocol that would not be according to the whims of crewmembers' individual or collective feelings. MEL, CDL, SOPs would not be effective if crews were allowed to individualize procedures.
