What's worse?
What's worse and why? A guy who doesn't follow certain SOP out of ignorance, or a guy who knows the SOP but picks and chooses what they follow?

Intentional noncompliance.

Rather than rush to judgement I would need more information to answer the question.
For example most manuals have verbage that allows a captain to deviate from procedure for unusual circumstances. This is separate from emergency authority. So a pilot may brief a deviation of some sort due to unique ramp conditions, etc. That's okay, and, in fact is not a deviation from standards. Skipping certain elements for convenience is intentional noncompliance. What happened? |

In the military this philosophy served me well....
If you don't know the rules/SOP, you're incompetent. If you follow them rigidly, you're uninspired. A flexible and inspired combat leader knows the rules as a baseline from which to deviate as needed to accomplish the goal (peacetime = safety, wartime = victory). In civilian aviation our goal is safety, and the rules cannot (nor do they pretend) to address all possible situations. But you should follow them unless you have a good reason not to. That keeps you out of regulatory trouble, and also it's possible that there might be a good reason for a rule that you're not aware of. |
Laws are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of fools.” is attributed to Solon, the Lawmaker of Athens, from 559 BC |
