Kerry explicitly said "...So the pilot exercised his judgment...." I believe Kerry has a commercial certificate. Likewise instrument, glider, and seaplane ratings. And has flown since 1966. I'm pretty sure he understands who had PIC authority and nothing in the story suggests otherwise. "So the pilot exercised his judgment that we were better off putting down there, and we all agreed." I guess it depends on the way you parse and emphasize the words. To me the "we all agreed" (assuming it's actually a quote) implies agreement *prior* to landing. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!)
