The enormity of airliner command responsibility is not readily evident, as are the most stringent of personal and professional requirements imposed as a result, to those who have not found their way, strived to overcome personal setbacks, or otherwise fought hugely to achieve the position. The odds are very much against many who try. Once there, paradoxically, that existential weight, once fully understood, is something in my opinion very few would willingly carry.


Where this captain is concerned, anomalies do happen, aviation is no different in this respect, perhaps best left to the corporate spin masters that must, by necessity, deal with such annoyances.
