A pilot thinks, 'The rules are too cautious for someone with my experience; don't tell me what to do.' Which hazardous attitude is this, and what is its antidote?
- A.Anti-authority; the antidote is recognizing that the rules are usually right
- B.Impulsivity; the antidote is to act more slowly
- C.Resignation; the antidote is remembering the pilot is not helpless
Correct answer
A. Anti-authority; the antidote is recognizing that the rules are usually right
Why
Dismissing rules as beneath one's experience is the anti-authority attitude captured by 'Don't tell me.' Its antidote is remembering that rules are usually written from hard experience and generally have good reasons behind them.
