RIP Pete Vinton

[Norm]

Thanks much Norm for a beautifully written and very well stated view. I know we can all feel your loss in the sincerety of your words and we as pilots, in my opinion, have a duty to each other to learn from these tragedies. Our hearts go out to all for their loss. Warm Regards Gary

Yes, we do need to talk frankly about the details of why some of our *most talented and experienced* aviators are no longer flying with us. Why did they make the mistakes that cost them their lives and sometimes the lives of innocent passengers? Does their experience make them too comfortable ... or do they feel sort of invincible? ... ?

Thanks, Gary.
