What would your decision be as a captain?

[Victor Goh 0]

My dear pilots,

 

I have seen countless cases where ground staffs really testing out captains' ability of decision making. Here are a few examples:

 

1. A child with chicken pox, day 10, dried, having doctor's letter stating she is fit to fly.

 

2. A lady on the 36th week of pregnancy, having doctor's letter stating she is able to travel by air.

 

3. An infant, 5 days old, yet doctor gives written green light to travel by air.

 

and the list goes on... cases with proof to deny SOPs.

 

My question is this. What would a pilot/captain take into consideration in order to answer these queries? Would it make any difference if it's a short sector? Would you let any of these passengers onboard your flight? It's 3am & i'm sleepy, this is as far as my question goes, for now. Hope i could be enlightened by some kind souls here.

follow the procedures...

if not allowed then just don't allow

not sure whether doctor report could allow them to fly even though its not allowed....

I believe the pilot in command always have the final say, regardless of what letters the passengers may have.

I believe each company has its own SEP (safety emergency procedures) with regards to the carriage of sick persons as mention above.almost all will be rejected from boarding regardless of the doctors letter.
