You’re all *that* passenger.
This criticism continues to boggle my mind coming from airline pilots. Unless you're all simultaneously certified and experienced as a doctor of atmospheric science, A&P, dispatcher, ATC, scheduler, airport ops manager, flight attendant, gate agent, and hell-fortune 500 upper management...I guess you've never questioned anything because it wasn't your place to doubt nor was it impossible for you gather additional information. You just do what the experts tell you 100% of the time without hesitating one iota.
Got it.
