Wow, Both of you are arrogant jacka$$es.
The "kid" was set up to fail?
First of all I don't see anywhere I have criticized the pilot. If this is indeed true (set up for failure) than more heads should roll than have currently been cut. If your statement is true there is a problem with the Marine's training system and with overall discipline.
Sig, you apparently are so angry you can't read. I clearly stated that there were two accident categories and the Marine corps has classified this one as preventable, not me.
As for the Q400 my info is not what I have "heard". My information comes from the official NTSB releases. I actually read the reports while you apparently only know what is kicked around in the ready room. As far as my eviscerated comment, I was referring to what would happen to the crew on these boards and in the media, not any action on my part.
The stupidest part of your post is where you claim that only you have the real info because most if it is "privileged."
First of all the information I am working with is that which has been released from the Marine Corps.
According to them:
"The accident was preventable"
"The accident should not have happened."
"The accident pilot will probably not fly again."
These are their conclusions, not mine.
Second of all the privileged claim is unimpressive and childish. This is usually an indication that those with the information (The people responsible for the crash are the ones investigating the crash and get to decide what information is released.) are embarrassed by the final report. The military has a history of this type of behavior. (REF Bradley Fighting Vehicle)
There was a whiff of this when the Marine Corps attempted to pressure the FAA into not releasing the ATC tapes.
Your basic premise seems to be that only the military has the right to investigate, have access to final conclusions and pass final judgment. All other parties should shut the F up and be grateful that their own stupidity (i.e. living near a military airfield) did not cause their death.
I find it tragic that after you attempt to blame a family for their own deaths because, in your opinion, they were stupid enough to live near a military base:
Would you be surprised? Park your car under a tree and birds are going to sh1t on it.
you can't tolerate any outside (civilian) scrutiny of what is pretty clearly a tragedy with its roots in incompetent operations.
If you were man enough to express these sentiments under your actual signature you would no doubt face disciplinary action. This should tell you something about how stupid your posts are.
In fact I will take care of it for you. I am forwarding your posts to the San Diego Union Tribune with a note to them about how one military pilot feels about both those who have the temerity to question military competence and those who are so incredibly stupid as to live near a military base. You seem to believe they deserved to die.
I hope the JAG office takes an interest in your identity.
