Couple of thoughts -
(a) in the test fraternity, a golden rule is along the lines of - if you do something and something else unpleasant eventuates .. undo the first action. Moral - change is not always a good thing and might be equivalent to leaping out of the pan and into the fire ...
(b) I'm sure GF would expand his comment to include "if that's the only problem" ie, if we then have a bad hair day and lose a motor .. the gear probably will be on the way up or, at the very least, a close eye will be kept on the OEI performance .. given consideration to the location.
and
there's no shortness of smug and condescending attitudes.
generally, one observes several stages in a pilot's (indeed, in any professional's) development -
(a) initial training - hanging onto the tail of the tiger
(b) initially "experienced" - overconfidence and brashness
(c) a few more frights - the beginnings of some self doubt
(d) maturity - best captured in the old standard "the superior pilot uses his superior understanding and knowledge to keep himself out of situations which might cause him to need to bring his superior skill to bear in order to dig himself out of a hole of his own making"
GF has been around long enough to qualify for (d).
