Crab,
Sorry you have those feelings about not speaking to him earlier, if he is the pilot in question.
I have been in the same spot a couple times in both the Navy and a civilian pilot.
However I have found that one time I was with a friend of mine who actuall asked me to stand with him as he had one of those conversations with someone he was concerned about, my feeling is that unless you are a close personal friend or have financial influence over him, it doesn't do much good, my friend was given grief for even broaching the subject, etc.
(anyone else have a tale where the outcome was better?)
It is sad none the less, my condolances to the pilot, victims family's, etc.
