Aren't you being paid to take care of people? I am. It's the top 2 priorities in our FOM.
When you deviate to avoid a TS at altitude it's not because the airplane can't take the turbulence, it's because the
people can't.
Also, I understand the anti-competition argument, but haven't seen many deals quashed for this reason. From Exxon-Mobil to any huge airline merger, to Telcos, it just doesn't happen these days.
