Another victory of rules over common sense..........
Yes, SOP's were broken, but who here would argue that these idiotic rules have advanced aviation safety one millimetre?
The phrase "rules were meant for the blind obediance of fools and for the guidance of wise men" seems to have been discarded. Unfortunately we are a poorer society for it.
Good luck Pablo. It was folk like you letting young boys like me on the flight deck that started my love of aviation and my career.
