Hi Obbie...

Thanks for your answer !

I can totally understand that the variety of cultures will make flying pretty much different from flying home, but that may be a chance of broadening my own vision of the industry and the world...

The company I'm flying for nowadays was very known here for using the FOQA program as a punitive tool and I've had the chance to see how impaired a pilot could be for the slightest idea of having an event (something that could definitely jeopardize the safety of the remaining sectors of the day)...

But, on the other side, as you said, as long as you do exactly what they ask, nobody will ever bother you for going around or wasting more fuel because you could have lowered the landing gear 1 mile further.

Probably the best way to go through and survive to it is thinking: this ain't my plane, will do what the owner wants to be done.

Thanks for the thoughts...
