I think you'll find that the Titanic sinking was not all bad luck.

Icebergs were known to be in the area and the advice was to take a more southerly route. However the Captain wanted to make the fastest crossing, so dis-regarded this advice and steamed at normal speed into an area of known icebergs.

Should we in aviation ignore the advice of people with more knowledge than ourselves and press on, hoping for the best?

I for one don't want to be a statistic in the aviation history of "accidents".

I'm stuck in TLV waiting to fly cargo to Italy or Germany or anywhere in Europe that's open for that matter..

Dixi.
