What a bunch of spastics!

TukTuk BoomBoom,
I respectfully requested that you edit that phrase from your post.

You respond with derision.

I believe that the nature of the statements directed against the elderly passenger are incompatible with the 'Professional Pilots' status of the Forum.

Irrespective of the perceived or actual wealth, health, personality, experience, clothing or intention of the deceased, there exists no basis to repeatedly refer to him in such intentionally malicious terms.

The elderly passenger is unable to speak on his own behalf as he fell 164 metres to his death, in front of his family and friends, from a cliff that appears to have been unknown to the Pilot and Guide.

The fact that these postings may be read by the family and friends of the deceased appears not to have occurred to those whom post.

Likewise, the fact that lawyers acting for the family or passengers may use the postings to illustrate the lack of professionalism and utter disregard for human life apparent within.

As may the media.

Both lawyers and media may ask why an experienced Pilot and Guide were unaware that an unguarded 164 metre cliff was within the stepping distance of their elderly unfit passenger at the chosen landing site.

The death of this man is a tragedy, please allow him some dignity in death.
