WS you seem to suggest that if the first flight had not taken place then they would not have crashed....
But this is condoning get-home-itis. Avoiding get-home-itis is just as much part of a P1's responsibility as all other responsibilities
Whilst it can be more than useful for all of us to know what happened before and during the first flight, in reality terms this flight has little or nothing to do with the second one, other than explaining they were away from home and wanted to get home so much they died due to get-home-itis...
Just like the weather can be a killer, ESPECIALLY flying into it without the necessary equipment, get-home-itis is a killer too.
I dislike this idea that both flights are linked. Any pilot should always look at every flight as an individual one, simply because whenever you are on the ground you have the opportunity to re-check your decisions.
