Uh JW, I never said that you didn't know what you were talking about?
He didnt say that it happens all the time, just said that if it happens, it will kill you, as opposed to what someone else had said earlier.
My problem is with the "Its no problem" attitude. 99.9999% of the time, it isnt a problem. But you only need the .0001%. Just like winning the lottery.
In the cockpit, I'm not the type of person that will go "Oh my god, we are going to die." at every issue.
But I still believe that prevention is better than cure. And surely from an economic stand point, it is better to sort the issues than having to drag the plane into maintence to fix it?
