Not picking battles, I just think if you are there to do a job according to a manual, for safety or other reasons, why not just to that. Then when the preverbial hits the fan, you were doing it right.

Too many Mavricks doing their own thing cause accidents.

The only real question is, when you come across one, how to handle them?

Stick to SOPs. If you can't, you deserve everything that comes to you.
