There is theory and then there is reality
There is a very sad reality to life in the Canadian North. From the missionaries to Hardly Know It onwards there has being this idea that "we" can get "them" to behave.
It is tough to make a living in the north, and I'd say nothing is tougher than making a living flying small charter. Every single day you are being tested, loads, equipment, weather and passengers. It never stops.
Easy to say I'd to this or I'd do that from a keyboard. Not so easy when you are the guy (gal) on the spot. As a practical matter I'd say there is now a very good reason to use the shoulder strap.
I feel for the pilots family, another one who went North to make it returning home in a box. So sad.
