sounds like a similar idea to the often lambasted "if i can't trust you to wear your reflective belt after dark, how can i trust you to fly a jet?"
"if i can't trust you to fly lead/AC/etc, how can i trust you to be a good sq/cc?"
not sure if it belongs here, but is there any reason clicking "Forums" from the BODN home page opens a new page? Not a big deal, but I liked it better the way before...
