I would think that, "revisiting" that type of situation would be a defininte case of "too little, too late".
Why even risk it?
I have no problem with that course of action as long as they listen to the operations group and as long as the operations group takes into account the concievable risks and allows for them, without feeling that somehow they have to accomodate the Director.
There has been no allegation that any thing of that sort is going on.
