I concur wholeheartedly with your sentiments, it does however make my recent experience even more ironic.
Take an IFR twin on a hard wx day company has given you wrong timings and what was no pressure turns into you can now arrive on time but with no leeway to meet the plane, throw in a GPS fails IMC enroute to airfield 30nms away (GPS goes into DR mode, so it doesn't go off it lies about where you are based on what you are doing), no problem we'll fly the procedure, ATIS gives wx now 150ft below minimums at destination for the NDB (an airfield who don't do TAFs), let down through hole, continue enroute VMC get pushed down, decide this is silly turn away from the hills towards nearest airfield (low and poor vis) DI gives up in the turn. Ask for position fix from Radar, they agree with where you tell them you think you are (can't pick up map, outside not nice). Consider landing decide against it due nearby horses, proceed to nearest non IF airfield about 3 miles away. Deposit boss in car to meet plane.
Get a phone call, from the boss a couple of days later to say I think someone else might have carried on and got me to the plane so I am going to use them from now on
.
What would you say ?
Sorry for the thread creep, it seemed appropriate after VHs post.
