Re: Friday, November 1, 2002
Just read the original post to this discussion (my bad). "Brass fever" is tough to overcome. I once flew a plane that was scheduled to haul VP Bush's election staff from Iowa to Washington. Unfortunately, they sent me in a plane that had cracks in the wings (hairline cracks that limited the plane to flying in calm weather). So, luck would have it that a line of T-storms from Canada to the Gulf would arrive between me and Washington. Over Washington they had a 60-thousand foot T-storm (wow!). As our crew rest ran out, I opted to stay another day and try it again tomorrow. After a lots of push-back, nobody questioned the decision. We stayed the night and flew Bush's armoured car and staff the next day back to DC. I slept better given the situation, and it is ultimately unlikely that the brass held a grudge against me for doing this. There are responses to this message:
