We're going around and around in circles again just like we did a few years ago, no middle ground has been reached yet again so I'm going to bow out. Maybe in 2021 the thread will work its way to the top again as it tends to do and we will do it all again. I imagine that these conversations have value because they will be able to be accessed by people wanting to know more about the event and how people in our time viewed it.
Until then, if you are still in command of an airliner as I suspect many of us are, take heed of the lessons , remember that those paid to support your flight are human and make mistakes just like you do, and that the rules are there to protect you from their mistakes and yours. Unless there is a good reason, stick to them for your passengers sake.
Thanks for the conversation.
