Only if the industry contains 'Captains' who lack the strength of character to obey the rules. The replacement will take the same stand you did and hence rules are followed and standards of airmanship are maintained.

So; weed out 'Captains' who break the rules or who do not show good airmanship. They don't have the skills to be 'Captains' and should be P2. The people best placed to do the "gardening" are the regulatory authorities, backed by clear and honest reporting by everyone in the industry.

"Not my fault, the 'rich man made me do it'" It sounds like the kind of thing an adolescent says when caught out.


PS. Anyone who can't take responsibility for the flight (including saying 'no'), please don't offer to fly me. I will stick with people who combine knowledge and experience with backbone, integrity and responsibility.
