I would also like to know what a supposed 13000 hr pilots place was in the whole scheme of things?
He may not have been officially the Captain or P1 or whatever but it was still his life at risk and the guy had a full set of controls in front of him?
Before you jump at saying I am excusing Weavers actions I am not! I see Weaver as a good talker with very poor piloting skills who more than likely would ask a more experienced pilot along to make decisions while he sat there recording the hours and taking the glory if it had gone fine.
I personally will never mess with fuel as cutting it fine is putting yourself in the lap of the gods but it is still a relevant question regarding the experienced high hours pilot on board.
As stated the person I feel sorry for is the owner of a Brand new Seneca Five
Who entrusted his pride and joy to people he thought were professionals.
Now even with a good repair he has an aircraft which will always carry an accident record and will never achieve a resale value anything like the value it should do.
