Your posts consistently seem to give the impression that you've an axe to grind ......
Not being a keen follower of Pierre's posts, I don't know if that generalization is fair. But the shoe does seem to fit in this particular case.

Who knows what the story was on this occasion: caught out by bad weather? Low-hrs student PPL getting into trouble? Whatever...
Could be. Or maybe he's right and it was poor planning (no planning).

Surely it's no secret that a few pilots are incompetent / reckless fools, or that virtually all pilots occasionally do silly things. But the same thing could be said of essentially any group, no matter how highly trained or skilled (hands up anyone who has witnessed a controller make a mistake?). Nothing is gained by whinging.

Pierre's impllied message perhaps: "the world is full of amateurs getting in the way of my job"!?
I would like to think that that was not his implied message. If it was, he is clearly in the wrong occupation.

Cheers,

P.S. Whilst I appreciate the strength of Andy's feelings, personal attacks (e.g. "what's your problem?" and "Get a life mate") are rarely warranted, or helpful. Either: (1) Pierre is expressing a sincere opinion, which should be treated with due respect whether one agrees with it or not, or (2) Pierre is simply 'trolling', and should not be rewarded.
