It's probably because corporate pilots are accustomed to doing what it takes to complete a mission. I'm not speaking for all corporate guys. I've found debates on APC, and in my own life, with corporate pilots who will weigh a procedure against passenger satisfaction. Listen to the recording up to the accident aircraft. How many pilots landed in those conditions prior? It's really sad a life was lost yesterday, and I hope his family can find peace, but it's embarrassing to listen to how many other pilots continued in those conditions prior to the accident. RIP amigo.
