me_whynot,
Don't worry, the opinion of people on Pprune would never even weigh into the mind of a Pilot/Engineer/Ground crew member when it comes to this sort of stuff. If it is not fixed or allowable then we do not go - simple as that.
Im sure that even the **** stirrers on this forum (yes, we are ALL guilty at times) also agree with this and in the situation themselves would not hesitate to delay if there was any doubt to the safety of the operation.
Most of the tit for tat here is simply JQ &
VB jumping on the QF bash wagon when QF has an incident, or if it isn't that its
VB & QF jumping on the JQ bash wagon when JQ has an incident, or its QF & JQ jumping on the
VB bash wagon when
VB has an incident...
If we had to put names to our comments here, im pretty sure the forum would be 90% quieter... ... ... ... ... ... now there is an idea!
Regards.
