Kidder's ethical checkpoints will be applied to analyze the case of Mike Nolan's ethical decision. The recognized problem in this case is that a passenger has suffered a heart attack, so Nolan must decide to follow Denver's orders or request a medical evacuation landing. Kidder's second checkpoint is to identify the actor. The actor tasked with tackling the problem is pilot Mike Nolan. The supporting actors would be the crew and passengers on board the flight. The third checkpoint is for Nolan to gather the relevant facts of this case. In this case the facts are that a passenger had a heart attack. There is a doctor on board who recommends immediate medical treatment to the passenger. The plane is in the middle of a storm and Denver has denied permission for an emergency landing. Landing is inadvisable and dangerous for the crew and passengers, bearing in mind that the flight is full. There is a crew member who does not agree with the plane landing. Nolan has 27 years of flying experience, 18 of which have been flying these particular aircraft. While right versus wrong issues are common, the truly difficult decisions typically arise because both sides of a dilemma are rooted in values ​​and, in many ways, are right. . For example, if one option in a decision is identified as “right” and another as “wrong,” we find that most people would choose to do what is right. (Placeholder1) After examining the facts, Nolan will have to check the right-wrong issues with this dilemma. He will look inside himself for the stink test, the first page test, and the mommy test. It will be up to Nolan's character to decide whether his decision violates any of the criteria. The next step... middle of the paper... our courage in a world of dilemmas.
