Also known as the "One Dissenting Vote Rule"....anyone "chickens out"....the entire crew chickens out! The collary rule is...."Chicken out early!"
I always accepted the fact when the other guy asks me...."What do you think of this weather?".....it was not a question but a statement! He is probably thinking he doesn't care for the weather at all and is trying to politely raise the issue.
I also pondered....if one replaced the fancy custom flight suits with the old Army two piece Nomex....in Olive Green....went to flat black helmets....changed boots to say....the old Army throw-a-way black plastic soled boots....how many of our Helicopter EMS medical crews would hang around? In plain language....make the work dress dull and drab....remove the luster from the job....would we see a dimunition in the type "A" personalities that we find so prevalent in the EMS operations? How many of these folks are really doing it for the work and not the flash?
