I think it's been said before...
A rolling aircraft does not guaranty a flying one.
With 5000 feet of balanced field, on a ten thousand foot runway....only an idiot takes an abnormal and turns it into an emergency by taking the problem up in the air.
I certainly won't apologize for my corporate brethren who have made mistakes as colossal and idiotic as the airline guys. I find it silly you hang on to some philosophy that your in some lifeboat with the other guys....they won't be there when the fire light comes on.
