jayteeto - you're getting all emotional now! Since when do the lads keep info away from the pilot due to sensitivities?
Is it in case your pilots can't cope emotionally if it involves kids and might turn it down because they'd burst into tears perhaps?
Where I came from laddy - the pilot expected to be told at the very least the outline of the job and everything short of top secret doo - doo's (which was very rare).
Can't do your job properly - half cocked.
