That’s fun. I’m really glad to know that. Thank you. :\

Jokes aside- while I realize there’s lots of safety systems in place, this seems like a dangerous culture that’s long due for some change. In aviation, an awful lot of our regulations are written in blood, and we’ve gotten rid of a lot of the ‘we’ve always done it that way’ and ‘Captain always knows best no matter what’ / ‘Always listen to authority’ stuff because it literally kills people.

I’m curious, if you’re willing to share, why we’ve not seen a major accident due to this sort of culture?

Also in exchange for this fun information you’ve provided, I have some more fun knowledge…

Pools. Everybody knows the chlorine kills germs.
Thing is, chlorine has relatively little odor. When chlorine binds with organic materials it produces chloramine, which has a very distinctive chlorine-y smell. This happens very quickly with urine. In a properly maintained pool, ‘shock’ treatment is regularly done to burn off the chloramine.

So when you visit a pool and you smell the chlorine, all that means is the pool is badly maintained and/or someone recently peed in it.

Have a nice day :D
