Back in the Brown Shoe Days....
This is a reply not only to this thread...but to many others, here at PPrune , as well. Back, many years ago, when I started my airline career, my company SOP manual had written at the bottom of each and every page the following words:
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD JUDGEMENT
Nowadays...seems that everyone has become so pedantic...so ^$%^, that we've lost sight of the forest for the trees.
I remember...all new-hires had a one-on-one meeting with the company president (and founder of the airline) and also a one-on-one meeting with the Director of Flight Ops. The meeting with the president was to 'communicate' the company's mission.
One of the things the president told us..."If I ever hear that you were, at any time, rude or discourteous to a customer, your employment here will be terminated immediately." Man, have things changed over the past 30 years or so!!!
And, with the Director of Ops chin wag, "We pay you to use good judgement in all you do...both in the aircraft, and on the job in other capacities. And, that's what we expect!"
So, in response to this particular discussion regarding the use of thrust reverse, headwinds, landing on a Tuesdays..or whatever...Use common sense and good judgement. You can never go wrong.
