the pull option has been debated to death on here.

And to be honest myself and the others that regularly have a go at the disciple's of cirrus don't actually have a problem with the chute system.

We do though have a problem with the seemingly high number of chute pulls caused due to incompetent idiots putting themselves and others in situations which they should never have been near anyway.

Ferrying an aircraft is a dangerous game, and to be honest I really don't care what an individual does to risk their own life.

But to hold someone up as an example of airmanship because they pulled a handle in the roof is just madness.

This incident will be a huge error chain more than likely starting days before the flight. And more than likely it won't just be one person that screwed up.

The airmanship is the error chain being broken before the incident and the flight becoming a none event never to be heard of. And nobody will sing the praises of the pilot that told his boss to go and travel sexually because something wasn't right.
