Indeed. One of the things we learn in flight training it to avoid "getthereitis" where you feel you HAVE to make a deadline. Safety is paramount and bad things happen when you put it in the back seat. One instructor once told me that in aviation, as a pilot, you have to be prepared to walk away from a job at any time. If the client (even if it is the president) tells you to do something you consider to be unsafe, "or else", just quit and walk away. You might be out of a job, but at least everyone stays alive. In the case of a flight in progress, the pilot has ultimate authority and responsibility for the flight. If the conditions were bad enough, they should have aborted and gone to their alternate landing location, regardless of who the passengers are. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320020 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
