And its attitudes like that are contributing factors towards accidents....the red-mist, press-on effect !
err no. you're reaching and making assumptions based your confirmation bias.
you have never to my knowledge flown with me, nor i with you. so it would be best not to make conjecture of my decision making in the cockpit, nor will I with you.
further to that, i never flew with Peter Barnes, did you ?
on that basis I would not make any assumptions on the late Mr Barnes decision making in the cockpit, and would suggest you do not either.
you were not there, nor were I, neither you nor I am aware of the circumstances that could have led Mr Barnes into a 'box canyon' situation.
you are making speculation of Mr Barnes flight skills having not been there, and i would hazard, not having flown with him.
