WHAT a bunch of weenies!
Some of you guys have been watching too much Boston Legal. . . or imagine you are lawyers. Think about what the 'can do' pioneers of aviation would be thinking of your limp dick responses here. Pitiful !!
I thought this was a 'team effort' here? Too much 'CYA' going on for an old timer. Accept the damn clearance -and if you 'lose' him -due to your own weaknesses . .due to your own pizz poor airman ship . . call it out. . . and get a vector out of the situation.
Great example of my point is the latest MD-FSR submitted for, and I kid you not, a failed cargo door test! After pushback, or so the lecture goes, they get a failed cargo door test, do the manual test, it fails then they block back in. Wow, thanks for the report. I feel SOOO much safer! Perhaps we should nominate the Capt for the daedalion award. Humorous to me that somebody would actually take the time to write a missive about such an inconsequential event, one that doesn't even fall under the reasons to submit the report in the first place.
"AR" all the way!
