Some of the "macho" responses on here sound like they're from a bygone era. As Commander you are LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for everything that happens on your aircraft and we live in a highly litigious world. Everything you say over the PA is recorded by 100+ iPhones and on the WWW before the engines have spooled down

If you're about to do some "out of the box" thinking - which sometimes is perfectly acceptable - before doing so, just take a few moments to think how it will sound as you try to justify your actions if it all goes wrong/gets reported/appears on FaceBook/Twitter or any other (anti)social media outlet.

Your company will thank you for your extra effort to keep the program going.....right up until the point it all goes wrong....they'll then be sitting on the other side of the courtroom from you.

Don't be heros. Play by rules, do what is safe, do what is sensible. If the flight gets delayed/canned - so what, that's not YOUR problem, it's the company's to resolve.

We get paid "big bucks" to do the right thing - not to make up off the cuff clever ideas. K.I.S
