Joining the rank of immature remarks too?please...
No. No not at all. I would genuinely like to know how you find it.
It is generally thought that it effects some pilots motivation in a negative way re safety. The thought is that when presented with two options and the safest one uses more fuel, that it makes it that much harder for the pilot to make the correct choice. Go-arounds are a good example. So is diverting around weather. Most pilots are fairly determined and don't like to give up easily, they also don't like changing the plan, thats why so many approaches are continued around the world that were unstable at 500ft and a go around should have been conducted. Now add to our already feeble decision making abilities the thought of losing some of that precious 500 euro, and the correct decision becomes less likely.
I was anting to know how you combat this, and how other pilots in your airline combat it. That is all, no need for silly faces.
Framer.
