People thinking you're going to destroy your aircraft by applying a slight thrust VS people thinking they can make a decision without even looking at their aircraft.
Not at all. Nobody said you'd destroy your aircraft. Just that you'd be an idiot to try and then go flying. If you're not going flying, then why on earth would you even bother trying something, you aren't trained for, with no visual assessment and with customers on board????
Just shut down, get the pax off, and go home.
