Flingingwings,
That does seem to be a pretty despicable attitude from the CP. Unfortunately, it looks like another case of putting costs/profits above safety.
Would you mind if I reposted the link to The Argus story that you posted in the Private Forum? It should certainly help DU's case (even if he does try to use the article to get a date!
)

PS to thecontroller: In this case, CP stands for Chief Pilot. It was a training flight, hence no co-jo.
