Rongotai,
I hear you; but you have missed my point.
I'm sure what you say has its place in the chain of events that leads to an upset.
No amount of pressure can make you( or should make you) fly.
I agree that you have to watch yourself VERY carefully and be you own judge and jury. On two occasions I have turned flights down due to fatigue and even one on prior familiy commitments.
At NO TIME did eJ pressure me or respond with anything other than acceptance-They HAVE to- which is my piont.
You are the final backstop to safety. If its not right then don't go.
I don't have any difficulty with this mindset and neither does eJ or many of the excellent girls/boys on line(inc. CC)
Like I said if you can do it and don't need your hand held and have broad shoulders-then come on in.
If you feel bad press-pay talks-moaning will distract you then.....
So enough of this if you are a pilot you should have more pride and respect for your vocation .
