Without deliberately being provocative - the last two majors involved Australian pilots. Without knowing anything about their history; is it feasible to assume a lack of mountain experience or rapid weather change?
I was working around the HL accident this year and that pilot was new to PNG and in my accessment (visual only) he was flying the machine hard like there was no tomorrow.

Customer pressure at OSL is like no other. Its the only place in the world that I have had the statement "well the other pilots must be better than you, cause they can fly in this fog" directed at me.
OSL itself is a dangerous company to work for in my opinion. I hope never to be associated with that gong show again.

Regards to all.
