Thanks, Bronx, (oops! - sorry Bronx, I meant thanks Nr Fairy!!) I concur your interpretation. However, I was also being specific about this particular subject which has some pretty heavy rules associated with it.
Where does the "dangerous" pilot with the aforementioned tendencies draw the line? - When he/she decides??!!
Surely this is a very unhealthy character trait?
This (profession) is also about discipline. Rules evolve via experienced & wise inputs but they are there to support our No 1 priority - the safety of our flying from ours, our passengers & the publics point of view.
I'm still quite gobsmacked that a pilot can be "proud" to break the rules per se. The implications are frightening.
