'scuse me??? If the cause of this crash is as it seems it is, who's fault do you consider it to be??? Was there someone else managing the fuel supply to either the airframe or the engines??? I think maybe you need a reality-check

If your post was intended to lament the abysmal training standards evident within industry, you need to be clear on that. There are any number of threads running on that. Any pilot rated in a Chieftan (indeed,
any aircraft) to single-pilot ops must be competent to operate that aircraft and
take responsibility for their own mistakes.
Do
you need someone to check and assume responsibility for
your cleanliness every time
you wipe your arse??? If not, don't try to absolve someone else of their responsibilities when they have screwed the pooch.
