I second that, and it's alarming to me how many people I know and talk to that have this same attitude about things.satpak77 said:I continue to raise my eyebrows at pilots who are afraid to declare "min fuel" or even declare an emergency (if indeed a emergency exists) due to their fear of "paperwork" or "visits from the Feds"
I always tell them this: "It's a lot better to have to fill out some paperwork when you land, then to have to face the dire consequences of not making it to your destination!" So many accidents could've been avoided if pilots would just speak up sooner, and not be afraid to admit they need help.
