I'm merely a curious observer. By posting this question I do not insinuate either of the following:
1. That I am questioning the captains decision
2. That I am a captain or even a pilot
3. That I know better than the captain
4. That I am arrogant.
I'm just very interested in understanding pilots and how they fly aircraft, their everyday decision making (particularly the exciting ones) and just looking to see what opinions, affirmations or advice other pilots have on situations like this.
