Yes. You should see some of the things found in FOQA that don't get that high profile.

Who am I? Where are my pants?
We have something like this in the F-15E called Vmax, except the idea is to use it when you need to go reallllly fast to run away from something. It simply allows the DEEC (FADEC) to increase the max allowable ITT when the throttles are full forward. My memory of the exact number is fuzzy and I'm too lazy to go pull out my -1 Manual, but it only added something like 5% or 8% more thrust to the top end.
It has this big red guarded switch on the left side of the cockpit wall, and constantly invites pilots to flip it on.....although I don't know anyone who ever actually has, despite lots of ready-room jokes about doing so.

Welcome aboard the Washington State Ferries
You CAN run the engines at 800C T6 and 100% Np indefinitely on the Brasilia, but I don't know WHY you would in any normal or routine operation. (Company limit for climb is 80C lower to prolong hot section life, which you can usually do into the teens anyway.)

John you can keep bringing it up time and time again, if you, your wife, or child were every critically ill would you want them being cared for by a nurse who has zero experience in that hospital? It would be like putting them on a plane to Africa with a crew that have never flown that type of aircraft, or transoceanic before. I invite you to come to work with me for a day, come and see a kid the same age as yours die from a preventable cause and then tell me my moral compass is wrong and I lack professionalism. You will see what I do is very different than flying people to Disney world.

Really? His argument is not about the job you do. It's walking on your co workers necks because they were fighting for better working conditions.
Also John lives down the street from one of the best hospitals in the country. His wife works there too.

amorris311 - I am sure living down the street from a hospital that isn't ranked top 10 in any specialty makes John an expert in medical ethics, patient safety and healthcare labor relations. Fighting for 1 more day off, when they already receive on average 108 more days off a year than the typical american isn't a fight I am willing to agree to when it could cost a child their life - it is clear where your moral compass lies.
Ian, cut it out. You're making it worse.
At that point, in aviation, we fly a lot of "lifeguard" flights in some regions. If Southernjets went on strike, then, at that point, I could say "Well, just in case ATL to DFW may have a lifeguard status, and we're on strike, a child may lose his life".
Decisions to bring negotiations to an impasse leading to a walkout or strike happen very far up the food chain. They know that you're going to be pressured to make a pragmatic decision to cross a picket line and justify it in the most dramatic fashion possible.
It ultimately keeps their costs low and your entire benefit package, including pay, is a "cost". Your hospital administration isn't about saving lives, it's a business and it's about "cost of goods sold" (revenue from care)-(cost of care) = shareholder value.
If you want to decouple healthcare from the profit motives of corporate America, there are plenty of free clinics to volunteer at.

Is there no other hospital in town?

Disregard, I see Derg already took care of things.
W side of the peninsula? Lake Clark pass? That'd be the one. Those wx cams are gold. We had 006ovc and 1, and we got out and went because of the cams.
At Kenai it was 600/10. Controlled field. SVFR mins. The pass was clear. My mistake for not clarifying.
