Dear Unknown Screener,
Is there something more you can do other than claim the "Nurnberg Defense" ("I was only doing what they told me to do?")
It's just called "Nurnberg" defense, I'm not saying you're a Nazi. It's just that when faced with problems where I work, I work to effect change, not wait for others to do so.

I know all about the "Nuremburg" defense. However, since I am at the bottom of the chain of command there is really nothing I can do to change any directive coming from Washington DC. You might think otherwise, but there are 4 levels of management above me at my airport, not to mention the regional directors and their chain of command. No, like it or not, there really is nothing that can be changed at my level. So the "Nuremburg" defense is hardly an appropriate analogy since it was not the "Landsur" that was on trial, it was the commanders. I am a "Landsur" in this organization, not a commander.
