You obviously think these guys show a lack of judgement by reading a prelim report. I think your post shows a lack of judgement on making a conclusion about an incident still under investigation. I sure hope that no-one ever has a chance to second guess something you do before the final report comes out, and you end up having to defend hearsay and conjecture because that's all people will remember. By the time the final report on this comes out this thread will be long gone and you'll have contributed to many "remembering" that the MESA crew were a bunch of low time fools who made a poor decision but managed to avoid a collision.

By the way..... it's "accept" not "except".
