I feel for the families of the 49 who died that morning, not this guy.
What if a doctor made a mistake and killed 49, would we want him in the O.R. again?
How about a bus driver who crashed a bus that killed 49?
It is easy for us pilots to have empathy towards a fellow pilot. However, everyday we are trusted with human lives. People blindly board our planes hoping the two pilots up front know what they are doing, it is complete trust in the system. To violate that trust like this accident deserves no second chance, the victims have no second chance.
Don't worry, I wish no ill will towards you about this thoughtless, uncalled for comment. I'd be willing to bet you'd be singing a different tune if you were in his shoes. I can only hope to be half the aviator you are.
