There is a time and place for everything.....and without knowing the full circumtances....how does one properly judge?
If the route was known to be free of obstructions and it was the Pass that was fogged in and better conditions were at each end...the controlling rules afforded dispensation for the flight in such conditions....then what is the problem?
If it was a "special" flight....then don't we want the crew to have the expertise, experience, and proficiency to carry out their Tasking?
As we do not know....and are not going to know....then there should not be a very crowded "Outrage" Bus.
it's a bunch of miltary types you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night...
No problem meeting them anywhere and anytime....so long as they remember I am on their side of things!
Certainly not the kind of folk you wish to have any kind of feud with!
