Just thinking about the "Do the trip or your fired" thing.

I know that anytime i've ended up in a situation with a high pucker factor its been because of unforseable change or because I put myself there.

Anytime you end in a harry situation you have technically put yourself there by going flying but i'm just wondering how many times its been pressure from yourself or pressure from management.

You can get caught out when the wx goes for a crap, and it wasn't expected, but most of the time...99.99999999% of the time...you put yourself there. If you fly, when you KNOW you shouldn't, you are an ASS! At least have the common decency to go it alone. Don't kill others!

Ah yes,

But there is a VERY fine line between exceeding your limits, and expanding your boundaries. That's what experience is all about - the more you get, the less you exceed those boundaries.... Ideally that is.
