Sir Korsky - aahh the pilot who knows when to say no. Of course we all have that choice don't we. Tell that to the wife of the deceased pilot who flew his boss into the ground during that private IMC departure from a field about 5 years ago. The boss didn't threaten him with the job did he? The Chelsea chairman crash in 1996.......not that easy in real life I'm afraid if you are either a corporate pilot, or, for that matter, an EMS pilot in the USA
You've pretty much described why no job is worth your life. We had to fight hard for a change in perspective where I work TC. There were many lessons learned that now adorn our SOPs. We almost found out the hard way a few times. Belittle me if you like, but I take no pleasure from reading accident reports, especially if they were totally avoidable in the first place.
Maybe somebody needs to take over from where Gary left off.
