No crew is going to trust him from now on.

If not crews, the judge believes that others think highly of him.

Since the incident, he has been promoted to Sgt which demonstrates that he retains the trust and confidence of his chain of command.

No crew is going to trust him from now on.

Given that the agreed statement of facts indicates that pressure was being applied, and we don’t know what responsibility was given to the chain of command (anyone have a copy of the flight safety incident), and how the squadron has dealt with it, I don’t think that will be the case.

In the abscence of other information, I would say he made a mistake under pressure, the system has dealt with any other systemic failures, he has been reprimanded in the way appropriate for the situation, and he is better for it.

… and trust him more if that is the case. For perspective, I was one of those crews, and saw similar circumstances that turned out in different ways ( COs of ships are not happy when lowly aircrew tell them no because lowly techs say that is the answer).

God damn.

Those helicopters seem like 349 magnets.
