It just seems odd that a person with a lot of hours would make the descision to go up into icing conditions in a non-icing certified aircraft and in the same sentence down a guy for freaking out for going into IMC.

If I were a person on the outside looking in...I would say neither of them have the experience to fly in the airlines regardless of there experience level or the amount of hours that they have. Just my opinion...

Side note: I am not saying that the person that posted this is not a good pilot...just commenting on the whole situation
