Sunfish you don’t get it - no one is saying it’s “commercial” pressure. What I believe everyone is alluding to is that “getthereitis”, which was no doubt the cause in this accident, (why on earth would you otherwise blast off into crap weather which you had just arrived in), is akin to commercial pressure. I acknowledge that many if not most AF pilots of whatever experience level know and recognise this, but not all. And that’s the problem.
