"Agree, but maybe they thought they where better than they where, but missed the basics. The attitude of the pilot can play a part. I’m good I’m bullet proof. Goes with the territory.

Hi mum Hi dad I’m a pilot, even the training organisations need to update."
I know for a fact that neither boy was that way inclined. Both were serious about their flying and working very hard toward professional careers.One was a B cat and the other just approaching his B cat test. They were not fresh new C cats. Something has gone wrong, whether mechanical, material or just an outright mistake we will have to await the outcome of the investigation - or we may never even know. I do know that I have an enormous void in my life now - one that no parent should ever have. I will issue my son his final takeoff clearance on Friday at 2pm.
