Don't you have a heart? I guess you just don't.
You're so caught up being a regional pilot or regional pilot wanna be that it offends you if someone posts a news that directly affects all us pilots. Just because he flew a smaller airplane than your mighty Transport Category Airplane doesn't mean he wasn't a pilot.
Sounds like you don't have children, but one doesn't have to be a parent to feel what that girl must have gone through in the last few moments of her so short a life.
Perhaps by posting here it would help to address that problem in some ways: may be some day this simple post would help to come up with a process that would ensure safety of children in General Aviation.
For me, I wouldn't mind proposing, as a father, to have a written consent by both parents, in order for a child (under a certain age) to fly with one of the parents. Just like a foreign travel requirement. Yes, lot of people would be up in arms about so called liberties, but I'd rather have million parents and kids go through some 'discomfort' of obtaining that kind of permission than to have another child go through like our innocent little angel this morning.
God Bless her soul.
I hope, for you, to realize that a human life is an incredible gift. I hope, starting right now, you look for ways to develop sensitivity to what that child might have gone through before her death. I hope you develop sympathy in your heart...and not get too bent out of shape simply because a concerned pilot posted a very important piece of news on this forum that has ruined your day.
