After all, we're all dumb pilots and we only understand black and white!

You should go for a job in American Congress if that's the case! Go find an excuse to rape and pillage some country and not the airline.
But as usual in true management form ... take off with the gear pins in and then blame the system ... go have the manual re-written (I'm not to blame).
Can't wait to read the housing amendment or NTC "Just a friendly reminder gents" .... "Just To Clarify"
Re-imburse the guys who had to send their families back home or into a serviced apartment you
