You must have some connection with the pilot as you are standing up for him quite a lot on this forum and others previously mentioned
norunway,
I have no connection to the pilot in question and have never met him/her, I simply offered some camly considered alternative viewpoints, rather than joining in the childish slanging match, as is now usual on pprune, made by the same old bunch of "pilots" with an over inflated ego, who have never made any sort of mistake during their flying career..
I have to agree with Bronx, that all the publicity over this has made the helicopter industry in NI/UK look very bad, there are surely better ways of dealing with this incident than on a public forum & TV news. Hopefully lessons have been learned...
