Wow fifteen pages of Monday morning quarter backers, I love it.

Also, I think its wonderful how everyone is stating how great they are and how many hours they have flown part 135 cargo in bad weather without autopilots. Such superheros!!! No one really cares how many hours you have or how many different types of airplanes you have mastered...

The Captain in question made a decision to not fly the aircraft that night, no autopilot was probably just the tip of the iceberg. It was his decision and that's all that matters.

End of discussion.
