Never do something stupid fast.

[Final 3 Greens]

It seems to me that we have two schools of thought here.

1. Follow SOP
2. Make experience based decision

I don't have anywhere near enough experience to contribute by critiquing Chuck's decision, although I thank him for sharing it.

Likewise, I can't begin to challenge Guppy's view either.

However, even with a few hours only, it seems to me that there is a paradox illstrated by

1. The DC10 at O'Hare that augured in when the crew followed SOPS
2. Many other events where following rigorous SOPS saved the day

Given this data, I think that Chuck argues one case (and is here to tell the tale after taking that action) and Guppy argues another (which has logic and rationality.)

I am wondering if there is a bush flying pragmatism versus line operation desire for consistency perspective to their positions?

Before either Chuck or SNS beats me up here, I am not taking sides, just trying to understand what is driving the argument.
