No, no commercial pilot every flew overweight, or in weather below minimums,
or more that the max hours in a month.. never happens ;) And there was never
a boss that 'pushed' them into it, for the sake of expediency or financial
gain, and the phrase.. 'Big Sky, Little Plane' was nevered uttered.. logbooks
never fudged and rules are always followed..

Of course, all of those things have happened. However, if we started treating
networking errors more like the way we treat aviation errors, the reliability
of networking would improve dramatically. OTOH, if we did that, the cost
of networking would also probably gain a zero.
