Why The Hell... (random rant)

Certainly. Picture yourself as a F/O in the right seat of your 747, aspiring
to become captain.

I'm already a captain of my 747.

The captain asks you to look up the approach plate for
him and you answer like you did. Clearly dangerous to your future airline
crew career.

That depends on how petty the captain is. There are good captains, and there
are bad captains. But in any case, looking up plates would be part of my job
in that case, so I'd have no reason to refuse.

Your life might benefit if you reconsider your priorities.

Not in this respect.

That's exactly the problem. You think real life is as easy as simulation.

You know, that kind of attitude is highly dangerous in all aviation safety

An unwillingness to do someone else's research is dangerous?

I have my hands full with my own research. I cannot accommodate the demands
of others.

Here's a simple solution to the problem; if you can't back up your
statements with a reference, don't make them.

I don't see a problem, so no "solution" is required.

I recall you just said you have your hands full?

A statement without a reference is an opinion.

Ergo, we can assume anything you say is merely your opinion and has
no basis in fact.

Not "we," just you. I'm familiar with techniques of forced teaming.

Is that an opinion or do you have a reference to show it is true?

It's a topic I've read about, one of a number of methods used by people to
manipulate others (provided they are unaware of the manipulation). I'm immune
to it.

That isn't what I was talking about.
