    Both of your guesses I would put into Resignation. “I can’t do anything about it, so why bother?” Why bother checking the fuel for contaminants, it’s always clean anyway. Why bother standing up to the aircraft owner, I’m gonna have to fly the mission anyway whether or not I think it’s safe.

    The other is Impulsivity, the tendency to do things at the spur of the moment without thinking anything through. Jumping into the plane to fly off somewhere without planning the flight, reacting to a problem by instantly doing the first thing that comes to mind instead of working the problem, etc.
