Re: Three Dead....Another Night Bad Weather Flight Over Dark Terrain

Thomas Coupling,
Hate to burst your bubble but I (like many others) have flown with excellent pilots from all backgrounds and I have also flown with lemons from ALL backgrounds on both sides of the atlantic.

I have to agree with Quichotte... It is in part up to us as pilots to stop accepting this poor equipment and pressure etc. I have always thought I would love to fly EMS in the states but the rules would be simple.... Interview the program. Get a sense of the culture.....after that its Twin, IFR, NVG and super super cautious until VERY familiar with the local area.
Otherwise its back to the north Sea or the middle east or where ever will have me....
