Sadly way easier to fall into this trap than we as human are ready to admit to ourselves. That's where (Senior) Leadership would have to come into the equation.
On another note: Am I assuming right that the CH-53E doesn't have a weather radar or a radar that can easily be used and is being trained as such?
