The impression given in these posts is that he has wantonly abandoned the crewman/survivor’s safety for no good reason.
If you read all through the thread, you will note that a larger number of contributors are concerned in the way in which the information was presented in the first instance, whether it is totally true or otherwise. Not knowing the pilot in question, although I probably will know him from old, I would like to think that he did not abandon the crewman/survivor's safety, but that there is something more to this whole incident than meets the eye of some of the chaps out there prepared to condemn him. Has anybody considered what a massive dose of the leans might do at the wrong moment for instance. Did the other pilot recognise the symptoms in time etc.........
Let's not prejudge the outcome of the inquiry and be thankful that it was not worse than it actually was.
As I said before, there will doubtlessly be lessons for all concerned from the inquiry.
