The Reds expect the highest level of flying ability from Team members. Anyone guilty of anything questionable is dropped immediately and replaced (or the Team carries on with 8). Some scrapes are accepted as risks (Synchro mid air with Montenegro and Ling) but stuff up a forced landing or turn back and you're gone. The Valley incident was such a very unfortunate accident but the surviving pilot will not return to the Reds IMHO. I hope he does actually.
