So simple question......do you disagree with the advice I gave to potential pilot candidates? Like I said.....if given a hypothetical and you said you will always say NO just because you won't accept the liability......you will prolly not be a Delta pilot

Personally, I never raise the gear after takeoff cause I don't want the responsibility/liability of a gear up landing if it fails to come down
....after all it is safer to just leave 'em hanging


My advise as to what you do once you become a pilot is the same but cuts both ways.....that is "get a little sumptin' in ye ole nut sack"....if you don't think you can continue, then don't....if you feel you can, then do".....but to say that you won't continue because you don't want to accept the responsibility/liability because you have young kids at home?????(fatigue was not a consideration, only liability!!!)

You can have the last word
