Absolutely, SASless !
Our job is to fly a patient from A to B and in this case, it looks like it was a transfer between hospital.
She could have wait one hour and they all will be OK today.
We are doing a job, maybe a special job, but it requires to respect some limits.
There is no hero there, the US has to get out of this stupid thinking.
We are no here to kill everybody on board to save one.
Anybody flying at night knows how difficult it is in reality in those conditions, pushing weather without the proper equipment to help you and having clear limits is just playing "Russian roulette".
Nobody learn, nobody !
It is like a repeat during the last 20 years, same thing again and again.
I believe the US refuse to adopt strict night minimum and still push pilots to fly when they shouldn't be like in the 80's.
And I won't even talk about the FAA..
One hour away from dead or alive !
