Angel cadc failure

At v1-10, one does not really have time to trouble shoot an instrument failure with a 12 hour mostly night sector just after V2.
Your comment sound like my flight operations jury. after two days deliberation he did wrong.
I was given an option on leaving though, "If I left I would not have an adverse report on my records, If I stayed, which I could have done there was an admonishment recorded but I could not pull my super lump sum and stay.Which I considered an option. 90 days later a capitalization of ones super was allowed and one could continue in employment with the airline.
My pride would not allow a flight engineers opinion over rule my status.
I went on to Europe and flew BAe1-11,s until the gulf war commenced and I then effectively gave up jet aviation, except for a short burst on a freighter.
( pota poty for a toilet, no rest facils, no galley no where to even wash ones hands if one used the portapotty) and on 8 hour sectors. FUN FUN!
I flew a Pa32;260 on my own charter company and had a king sized ball.
My only enemy was CAA, but they can be subdued. The pen is mightier than the sword.
