I agree with sticking to SOP's makes your life easier. Quite often difficult guys will not let you fly the aeroplane the way you want to, and they are picky over little things, that to be frank, don't matter. I just go for the quiet life and avoid getting into one-upmanship which i think is dangerous. Personally, as long as its safe and it isn't going to make me famous, I'll go along with it. I may not think its the best course of action, but there are many ways of doing this job, and some are better than others.
