No need to 'pack it in' JT,

In a recent newspaper article I was asked to do for 'AF', (Comment News) I made it very clear that, in all of flights I have done I / we always have a 'Plan B', and a few times I have postponed / cancelled flights because of poor weather over the Darling Range, (ex JT) or fog at the wheatbelt destination.

As you have stated, the clients understand that, and there really are no pressures from that side.
I have experienced a few 'disappointments' - usually from the client's travelling companion - not from the clients themselves, as they are aware.

As sad as this event is, I feel that, maybe, a 'self imposed pressure' may have been present, seeing that other aircraft reportedly 'held' and the weather was reportedly 'not good'.

Keep up the 'good work'....

Cheers
