RE: "I got a few friends who laugh at these conditions...Try catching a 3 wire in the same kinda soup... "

Yeah, but the difference is your friends are being paid to risk their lives and the pilots of that Gulstream are being paid to NOT risk the lifes of the passengers.

Yep, there are risks in everything we do...And the outcome of a mistake is the same, regardless of if you are being paid to take the risk, or being paid to avoid the risk...

My commment was in reference to the conditions that were more of a challenge to actually flying, or in this case making an approach to landing in some very off nominal conditions...

Being paid to take a risk, or avert risk, is not a badge of courage...And in most cases, it is not that big a deal...

It does, in some cases, make for interesting discussion like it has in this forum...
