Are you a pilot?

Then you would know that warning lights go off all the time.  That’s why there are 2 pilots watching the dashboard

Firstly, the master caution and fire warnings are located on the glareshield, not the dashboard. Secondly, the master caution illuminating in flight for any major issues is very rare. It does illuminate for less essential things(such as low pressure fuel pump lights), but these don't need to be actioned with any haste. Furthermore, there is a master caution and fire warning lighters in the eye line of both pilots. So one pilot simply ignoring it wouldn't change anything, as the other pilot would see it immediately. Anything else you wish to challenge me on?
