Guest graunch1 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Very interesting account of how Human Factor issues can sway judgement and safety is thrown out the window by the boss if the "pointy end" does not show sufficient assertiveness to counteract the demands by the Boss,customer, manager whomever title he has Good CRM by the FO to keep Rumrunner up to date on the flight path and good job on him to have the presence of mind to recall wardroom war stories.

Mustache Gear Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hey rumrunner, I think everone here has already touched on the positive aspects of the moral of the story and all. I just want to take the time to complement you on the telling of this experience of yours. I was totally engrosed in it, you have a gift as a writer. Great job:up: MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustache Gear Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sorry Fen I missed that part of the post since it was so long....I should have been more carefull with you around.

rumrunner Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 so is rumrunner Chris Mckenna? I'm so confused I thought he was just quoting someone elses story..... Fen, You are correct. I posted the story "as food for thought". I am glad it has led to some open, positive comments. I was told many years ago that we need to learn by the mistakes of others, as we won't live long enough to make them all on our own. Here is to hoping that the 2007 year is a safer year than 2006 was. Merry Christmas to all !! RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I had the same thought as Fenn, it's amazing or makes you wonder how many people read and understand what they are reading before they runnoff at the keyboard.

transquebecniece Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 What is rather ironic and unfair is that your coffee(black) will weigh more than your beer but your beer will make you weigh more than your coffee. :shock: Thank you for the lovely reminder to drink more coffee than beer, Skullie. Pinch fer you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTR Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Thank you for the lovely reminder to drink more coffee than beer, Skullie. Pinch fer you! Heh, this why i only drink scotch. It's naturally low-fat and and any helicopter pilot worth his salt will always get the weights right when transporting said scotch! To do otherwise would require the ultimate penalty!
