It appears that CASA are being forced to legislate against stupidity.

And by our choices, as evidenced by our actions, we appear to need it.

I note that the report has been released for the accident from Moorabbin to King Island about 18 months ago. VMC into IMC, four funerals, and it appears no-one said "Hey this weather looks a bit sh!t. I reckon we give it a miss." Or over the pre-flight coffee "I am not happy with this, count me out." No, I wasn't present in the aircraft or in the hangar so have no knowledge if this was said or discussed, but the flight went ahead, and there were no reports of last minute changes to the passenger list.

It is my understanding from the news reports at the time that all on board were pilots (as always, willing to be corrected on the facts).
