Nobody gives a shit how you called it. You're a worthless internet blowhard. Thousands of flights happen without incident every day, but sometimes pilots fuck up. It's a tragedy and no one wants it to happen, but sometimes it does.

Again, I hope you never have to depend on a stupid helicopter pilot to save your worthless existence.

...MH370... That's your example for something you don't armchair quarterback? You're a fucking joke.

No one ever said "nothing can be done about it", and forgive me for not wasting my time trying to deal in specifics when you start your post with:

Chopper pilots ...Are they all stupid?

and

Are rotary-wing pilots incapable of learning from the mistakes of others?

Yes, insult an entire profession that does a very dangerous job for low pay and expect someone to take the time to engage you thoughtfully? Fuck you. You're an ass.

Boy, you sure know how to cherry pick 'em, yeah? Between the seventeen year old accident investigation that your buddy handled and the thirty-two year old Keys incident, you're basically got the entirety of rotary-wing aviation mishap prevention at your fingertips. Stay by your phone in case DoT finds itself in need of your expert opinion,'kay?

Dude, shut up. You're a fixed wing pilot. Are you going to sit here and pretend fw pilots don't have a rap sheet miles long of bonehead-stupid moves? The difference is that when a heavy pilot, maybe like yourself, fucks up crew coordination and burns one in, hundreds die. So seriously, piss off with this assault on all rotary wing aviators.
