Your post exemplifies exactly what management thinks of us as a group. They are basing their confidence in this TA on our group being risk averse. Their personalities are ones of risk taking. They obviously try to be smart about their risk taking, but risk itself NEVER scares them away from taking risk. Your post shows them that at least some pilots are scared to take ANY risk. A bird in the hand will always be justified as best because there is absolutely no risk.

In my business, I deal with managers like our management a lot. When we discuss different personality types, we all agree that the one trait we universally disrespect is the risk averse personality. It's thought they deserve all the poor results that their low risk tolerance gives them.

I'm betting a YES vote on this TA will mark us as the coward on the playground by management. Thus there will be a lot more bullying for many, many more years. A YES vote is the start of a very painful future IMO.
