The more the better!

Let's say you own a trucking company that ships explosives via truck. You interview candidates as drivers.
1st interview:
You: How close can you drive to the cliff's edge and get the product there?
Candidate #1: Oh, REAL close. I'm very skilled!
Candidate #2: Oh, I would stay far away from that cliff. It would be safer, even with my skills.

Which would you hire? Candidate #2 would be the prudent choice.

Make the airlines as safe AS POSSIBLE!
