Either this pilot does not understand the systems and their aircraft at all and has zero regard for the regulations, or the training department at this program has failed in a major way. Could be a combination of the two.

I understand these are brand new bell 429's with 4-axis autopilots and the vfr pilot knowingly flew into ifr conditions.

How does this happen? Anyone have any insight?
