Still the responsibility of having 50-200 lives behind you is something you don't get landing on a carrier. Don't get me wrong i understand your position. It's just not that simular. The best pilots i have found are the ones that have the ability to say no. No to broken airplanes, no to atc, no to the CP's...The ones that know when it's time to set the parking brake and take it slow.
