a. He will never permit external pressures or personal desires to influence his judgment, nor will he knowingly do anything that could jeopardize flight safety.
b. He will remember that an act of omission can be as hazardous as a deliberate act of commission, and he will not neglect any detail that contributes to the safety of his flight, or perform any operation in a negligent or careless manner.
c. Consistent with flight safety, he will at all times operate his aircraft in a manner that will contribute to the comfort, peace of mind, and well-being of his passengers, instilling in them trust in him and the airline he represents.
d. Once he has discharged his primary responsibility for the safety and comfort of his passengers, he will remember that they depend upon him to do all possible to deliver them to their destination at the scheduled time.
e. If disaster should strike, he will take whatever action he deems necessary to protect the lives of his passengers and crew.
2. An Air Line Pilot will faithfully discharge the duty he owes the airline that employs him and whose salary makes possible his way of life.
a. He will do all within his powers to operate his aircraft efficiently and on schedule in a manner that will not cause damage or unnecessary maintenance.
b. He will faithfully obey all lawful directives given by his supervisors, but will resist and, if necessary, refuse to obey any directives that, in his considered judgment, are not lawful or will adversely affect flight safety. He will remember that in the final analysis the responsibility for safe completion of the flight rests upon his shoulders.
c. He will not knowingly falsify any log or record, nor will he condone such action by other crew members.
d. He will remember that a full month’s salary demands a full and fair month’s work. On his days off, he will not engage in any occupation or activity that will diminish his efficiency or bring discredit to his profession.
e. He will realize that he represents the airline to all who meet him and will at all times keep his personal appearance and conduct above reproach.
f. He will give his airline, its officers, directors, and supervisors the full loyalty that is their due, and will refrain from speaking ill of them. If he feels it necessary to reveal and correct conditions that are not conducive to safe operations and harmonious relations, he will direct his criticism to the proper authorities within ALPA.
g. He will hold his airline’s business secrets in confidence, and will take care that they are not improperly revealed.

The more guys do this, the sooner the problem goes away.

FURTHER, if you will go back to the beginning, this all started over, and my answer directly dealt with a caterer who misread the catering order, NOT willful non-compliance by the company. My point simply is that there is a difference, one that many on this board are either too stubborn, or too dense to fathom.
