FOURGOLDS - you are hoisted by your own petard! Did you make this mistake which is why you want to pass on your message?

I did not give an opinion either way and it is something I strive very hard not to do even on clear days, you hopefully have strategies and procedures in place to prevent it. The last call I make before the levers go up is "normally" everybody happy!

Unfortunately rushing and cockpit dynamics (CRM) can cause mistakes to be made and not corrected. Overall it is better to be a couple of minutes late in this life than early in the next.
