Yeah, sorry, that's what happens when you write with a four-year old on
your lap and your wife is yelling that dinner's ready... you take
shortcuts and hope people extrapolate :-)

I meant, it was pilots for a small airline that needed to get some
simulated IFR time for company currency requirements. So they chose a
dark moonless night over the ocean, and crashed while practicing
unusual attitude recovery when they all got disoriented.

Did they lose their jobs?

IIRC, they lost their lives, and the incident was reconstructed from
the black box recording.
