I think that whether or not this was the final destination is exactly the point. The decision to go or not go is entirely different if instead of jumping in the car, you have to disappoint passengers waiting to be picked up. Too many times we have seen the passenger on the ground become an influential part of the decision making process. There sometimes isn't as much discussion of the issues after the accident report is published so the question I pose is how do you ensure that pilots who are otherwise skilled and careful make a properly considered decision when there are people waiting for them on the ground?
I must empathise that I don't know the circumstances of this accident so this is an unconnected question at this point.
