Well 42 years in Aviation and 20 years working in media I think I'm in a position to comment. While this accident is a very sad event all accidents are. There will always be accidents and there will always be news bulletins. You can chose to not talk to the media if you wish, but then you are probably the same people who complain when the media get their facts wrong like calling every aircraft accident a "Cessna." You can't have it both ways. There's nothing wrong with talking to the media as long as you're talking facts and not b_ _t. I post very rarely. I'm not say they get everything right but it annoys the hell out of me when people say "don't talk to the media" and then sit at home watching the news and reading the newspaper..... Hypocrites! Like I said.... YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. Of course none of you have ever watched a 6pm news bulletin have you! Condolences to the families of these poor gentlemen.
