[QUOTE=Airhoss;1675037]As has been pointed out just becuase it's MEL-able doesn't mean it's safe. That's why a Captain makes the big bucks for his decision making ability and system awareness and knowledge. A low rent company man who blindly follows management directive with no concerns other than getting a flight out on time is a captain in name only.



A captain who disregards his crew and takes an airplane with complete disregard for the concerns of his F/O is a complete CRM nightmare and an accident waiting to happen. Of course I've heard that the culture over there is pretty much stuck in the 1960's regarding crew resource management, captain is king and all that stuff... quote

That couldn't be farther then the truth, you need to knock the boulder size chip of your shoulder, we are all pilots, all working for the same company, the only difference is which place called us and put us in class first, I got news for you being hired at UAL didn't make you special or different, your just another airline pilot, drop the attitude and you'll be a much happier one.
