I've been flying for almost 20 years. (not non-stop, though)
I've held a commercial license for 18 of those.

But I have not flown in a high traffic density area in a long time. The last time was in 2012 when I brought a helicopter out of the Houston area - and I had a copilot with me to share the workload.

Recently I had to repossess a helicopter in Charlotte. And I hired a ringer. I knew I would be in over my head with my rusty skillset.

Unless they release the data, we will never know how much Class B time she had. We are looking at this with an incomplete knowledge of her experience.

She was taking family members to the cancer center to visit with other family members. Her mind may have not been in the game. And for sure, when things started going south, she had to contend with those passengers who were looking to her for a safe arrival. Situations like this go to **** in a hurry, no matter who you are.
