I think it was summed up earlier in that but for the grace of God go I.

This thread has touched on many topics which all form the terms and conditions of a pilots lifestyle.

To have holes in the cheese is an unfortunate reality to have a solid block of cheese............. we'll keep the aircraft on the ground; the safest operation of all but as we all know impractical.

The amount of holes is the race to the bottom in our industry. Tell the public their ticket price is directly proportional to the quantity and size of these holes.

2 types of experience out there, quantitive and qualitive. Fill your pockets with both if you can. Remember that self praise is no recommendation but self belief is your anchor.

Remember too that protected aircraft, warning systems, override systems are based on a clean wing aerodynamics. Ice contaminated wings will alter the aerodynamics and this can be a rule changer and all bets are off that any of these systems will work as envisaged.

But most of all remember like us, the 2 pilots for all their strengths and weaknesses probably read these forums too.
