Interesting thread, as usual all pertinent angles have been covered. I believe this is damaging for all pilots alike, and there public perception. A time bomb like this seldom goes off without warning and its unfortunate none of his so called friends noticed. Was this work pressure from Massey? Or as the media says Personal relationship problems? Probably a combination. Anyways i can believe some have encouraged the pilot toward a speedy recovery and entertain the idea of flying again. WTF
