I’ve been in a helicopter a few times, so I don’t get how somehow this is on Kobe. There is no way in **** I would tell a pilot whether he can go or not go. Same as being in a plane. The pilot is the captain, the master and commander of the vessel. He’s supposed to know all his stuff, whether flying conditions allow further safe flight or not, the rest of us are strictly passengers.
Maybe someone can explain.
TOTALLY different in "private" vs commercial world.
The private aircraft pilots and ownership groups get all kinds of pressure from their clients. "Are you REALLY sure we can't take off?"
Also, as I understand, the chopper was owned by one of K Bryant's LLC. Who knows what was said or done.
My guess in several months time: NTSB rules pilot error was primary, if not sole, reason for crash.
