Anybody who is obsessing on a 1 degree heading issue anywhere outside the FAF isn’t paying attention to more important things.
YMMV.
I think you miss my point. While someone who operates just inside the tolerances for whatever is certainly adequate and meets the standard, they aren't trying to improve their skills. And that's the point - someone who isn't trying to improve their professional skillset isn't worth hiring if there is someone who *is* constantly trying to improve available. It's not hard to tell the two apart in a 30 minute conversation, LCA or not.
