I apologise for my honesty but that's the way I feel when it comes to ULH.

Guys from general aviation don't have the big picture that the military guys have, it comes down to the rigorous selection process and aptitude testing that we went through to join the military.

One of the first things I ask when I fly with a new guy is "what is your background", back in the day CX hired highly skilled aviators from a large pool of heavy jet and ex military pilots now they hire any old ding bat to make up the numbers.

When I was in the air force we used to brief everything, even how the landing will be conducted for the conditions presented and I intend to have this kind of discipline incorporated into our SOP's.
