Re: Measure twice, cut once
"After a run of these in the late 20th century, "some" training programs now emphasize that junior staff should be proactive and senior staff have to accept it."
On a fully laden, just refuelled jumbo jet at Tenerife, the junior staff didn't want to question the captain's misunderstanding of a radio message as clearance for immediate takeoff.
Some of the people in the jumbo that was taxiing up the runway in thick fog survived.
Aircraft now wait for departure. The word takeoff is used only for authorising or cancelling immediate takeoff.
