I love military pilots that forget these ops are performed single pilot with a bunch of blabbing crews in the back (I was once one of those blabbing crew members), and pts that suddenly have a problem right after you lift...lots of multitasking alone with a corporation pressuring you to complete the flight and ready to slap you if its done "wrong" It was dark, very dark and takin a passenger at night close to MGW is stupid and it should never have been normalized by the bleeding heart boomer pilots of the 80s, 90s etc...Its bs and Im sick of it. And noone in the military is doing this op without water egress training. Nobody.
