Chivalry..N. he sum of the ideal qualifications of a knight, including courtesy, generosity, valor, and dexterity in arms.
Nothing in the definition precludes self preservation. You might check the definition of a word before using it.. or you can just keep firing from the hip.
Anyone who says they are not concerned about their own fanny is a liar or does not belong in a cockpit.
So, there you are in enroute from ATL.. and your MAIN concern is getting that little old grandmother in 29C to LGA even though there is snow and ice, braking action reported fair to poor on 04 and the ATIS is talking about Low Level Windshear and nobody is missing... but you're not concerned about self...not the slightest pucker factor as you watch the airspeed dance around on final... just thinking about Granny. How altruistic...
(I'll save you the time...unselfishly concerned for or devoted to the welfare of others)
I would say spare us the drama but in fact, you and your posts are actually quite amusing and revealing. Keep it up.
