More shifting of the blame........again and again...shift the blame!


That's not shifting the blame, it's looking for factors that contributed
to the accident. Knowing the factors in accidents can help us learn to
do better as pilots, and improve our pilot training. "Blame" is more of
a moral or legal assignment of guilt, but does not help us find the
actions needed to avoid the accident in the future.

So...you think that if you are thirsty...you're going to fly so bad as
to kill yourself??

You really think ANY of the recent accidents are attributed to
dehydration?

The spoiler open accident was beacause the pilot took off with spoiler
open.

The out of gas accident was because the pilot took off with not enough
gas

The zoomie accident or whatever it was....was either poor airmanship
or poor judgement or both.
