Wait, I'm confused...
I suspect all on this forum would agree that filling out some paperwork, explaining truthfully how you got caught in IMC when it was not your intention or legal option to do so to your CP, FAA POI, company owner, customer, local sheriff, co-workers, local news hounds and friends at the bar is preferable to what is happening now. You might lose your job, which you lose by being in a fatal accident anyway, or get a suspension of your certificate but in perspective, sitting in an empty parking lot waiting for another company pilot and clearing weather is a pretty attractive alternative. Proper IIMC recovery procedures notwithstanding, they were going to a baketball game.....a basketball game is pretty low on the " gotta get there scale". Come to think of it, most everything is.
