thank you TRADER.
gf pilots are constantly in a catch-22 situation, damned if you do, damned if you don't.
if you refuse to fly their planes because of upwards of 10 MDDs and countless other ADDs, there is enormous pressure from all corners to get you to accept the flight. if you still refuse, an appointment with the chief pilot ensues and quite often, another captain is called in who will accept the aircraft. more often than not, it it usually one of the younger and less experienced captains who is out there to prove himself.
if you accept the aircraft and a major fairlure occurs, you're still screwed and those who had pressured you to take the flight all scatter and cower for cover.
