JT - Well your in fine company....
You would have given your seats up like the first three 9/11 crews...
You would have gone through the fuel dump procedure, rather then get it down in Nova Scotia..
You would have continued with a fire light on the Concorde..
You would have sat up there on the phone messing with the trim while jack screw got worse and worse and worse...
Your 'I don't think, I do what I am told' approach to aviation is a credit to all the airline chief pilots who have specifically culled any independent reasoning ability out of it's ranks.
