R.O.G. and cyclic.
There are also a great number of "maverics" who are now pushing up the daisies. In 20 odd years of military and now civvie flying I think I can safely say that there is no place for a maveric who interprets the rules as they see fit, in fact I did my level best to chop some of these hazards. Use judgement - yes, be flexible - yes, but for them to decide which rules they agree with, and so follow, and which they will ignore is nothing more than a short cut to a cat5.
The customer in the commercial sense does not pay for someone who uses their maveric skills and interprets things their way. They pay to get from A to B, completely safely,on time, in comfort and with good service. That is all! They also do not pay for some clown who thinks he is a comedian doing his amateur cabaret act on the PA.
Mr Mason's cavalier attitude was only ever ultimately to lead to an accident - oh, hang on a minute, he's already had one!!
