I do not work for any media outlet, actually my company provided heavy equipment to the crash site to help their efforts.
The only reason I even signed up for this forum was to thank the pilots and show my appreciation and respect for your(their) jobs. Many people take for granted what you(s) do on a daily basis. I had no idea saying thanks would incur any negativity.
i hope for the sake of other pilots, they arent all like you.
If that's the case I sincerely apologize. I'm dismayed by all the speculations by the numerous and worthless reporters and your post made me suspicious.
Again, I'm sorry.
“i hope for the sake of other pilots, they arent all like you”
I didn’t take your comment personally as I can see why I offended you.
About four years ago two of my friends were involved in another commuter airline accident where they along with the 11 passengers perished.
As one of their former instructors I actually had to participate in certain parts of the investigation (deciphering voice recorder transcripts, etc.) and that’s when I found out most of the news reporters are very biased in their reporting; in fact many have come to a conclusion before they even show up at the place of the accident.
In that case, both pilots were vilified by the news media even before their bodies had been removed from the smoldering wreckage.
Therefore I will never trust a reporter and get suspicious when someone appears to be one...
