[Say Again Over]

Nolife, you are wrong, and apparently have no experience in corporate aviation either, if you did, you would understand that the boss doesn't need to be a licensed pilot to realize you are a bad pilot, same with experienced medical crews. As far as a personal conflict goes, this can happen, not a good idea to get in a power struggle with the medical crew, I treat them as good as I can and involve them in my decision making as if they were pilots.

I'll put this to rest now and say,"Y'all are right, I am wrong." Thanks for the responses.

I guess you can't read from the soapbox.

Sorry Nolife, I have to revise my comments, mainly because there is no clear cut right or wrong here, each situation is a bit different, digging back in my memory bank, I remember responding to a new customer-that because of the distance, response time was an important factor, scattered TRW's were along the route, just prior to departure I checked the WX radar and it didn't work at all, I returned to the hanger to change aircraft (C421), needless to say it wasn't a very popular move in the opinion of the Chief flight nurse or our marketing department (about an additional 20 minute delay), so sorry if I sounded all knowing.

Even back then, it was a good decision IMHO, Say Again. It's hard going against the flow sometimes! The air EMS operations are 100% under the microscope these days, and no one should take any chances that would bring more negative attention to this type of operation.

Imagin scrubbing a flight with the patient on board due to a MX issue. That will win you a popularity contest everytime.

Tach gauge died on taxi and the non-critical patient was being transported home from the hospital so no loss of life but you'd have thought I killed the guy the way everyone reacted. Delayed flight 5 hours until a new wire could be installed.
