But you flew with him anyway?
From your postings, it sounds as though your decision making and
judgemnent haven't improved any over time.

I'll bet some of those cargo flyers wish that there was an FAA rule that
would give them a LEGAL reason not to fly when conditions are marginal,
when they are too tired, etc.

There is. What's lacking is the willingness to walk away from the job.

Well, so what? Its a risky business, in as much as one little screwup
can get you killed. All this "the sky is falling" journalism is an end
in and of itself. There are many activities that people choose to
engage in that are risky for all but the well trained and experienced.

Anything short of sitting at home watching TV has its risks.

........and that'll melt your brain.

Since the newspaper writer thinks more regulations and
restrictions increase safety and convenience, and you feel
the same, that makes him correct.

The FAA is concerned about sun visors. If you want to avoid
floods, don't live in the river valley or New Orleans. If
you don't like noise, ban all boom-boxes, weed eaters, lawn
mowers, chain saws, motorcycles, cars, teenagers, dogs,
cats, babies. If you want a world with perfect safety, no
noise, no danger, no fat food, no lead paint, no poisons or
poisonous insects/animals, just ban everything.

No, it means that we share the same general opinion. They looked at the
data, the regulations, and formed an opinion. I agree with the writer's
assessment.

The rest of your commentary is silly.
