I will fly fixed wing with private pilots , but not helos. I advise my family to do the same. I want a commercial pilot who has enough hours that he has already scared himself . Keeps me safe(r). Too many low time owner/operators pushing the weather and get there-itis taking its toll year after year. Very sad event , and unnecessary. Poor kids.
If I had the $$ for a TwinStar I would also pay a good pilot to run the marginal weather.
