Bobakat ..... I think you will find in other cultures, military aviation trainers have addressed this issue and emphasize the responsibility of the aviator for the lives of other humans, and the possible loss of an asset. I believe after the 3 accidents within 3 days a few years ago in Thailand (all for another disaster relief effort, two poor weather and one mechanical failure), the military commanders were themselves afraid to fly thereafter - this is never good as it really can affect the senior officer's judgement in his own role - many are only too happy for the PIC to say, sorry guys - not this time.
