NTSB issues recommendations on Grand Canyon air tour safety

Part 1.
I sadly remember the helicopter crashes that killed the people in the above incidents. It is always a tragedy to here about lives taken so unexpectedly.
Even though I don't know any of the people responsible for the safety of these accidents, I would like to say that I would find it very hard to believe that most people would not want to intentionally jeopardize the lives of passengers and their own for that matter (excluding the people reasonable for 911, of course, and others like them).
I have had very little contact with the aerospace industrial, but the contact I have had has been with some fine Aerospace Engineers that have passionately cared about doing their job right.
If the above comments are coming from the Jonathan Rute that I worked with at Global Aeronautical in, 2007, then I know his character to be proven as one that upholds the importance of aerospace safety in an industry that is highly responsible for the safety of all the passengers it carries. Jonathan is a great example to new aerospace engineers for he shows forth his passion of air travel by patiently letting others see how things are to be done. The right way! The first time!
Flying is a pleasure and a privilege. So is living life. What was supposed to be a wonderful time enjoying nature turned out to be a sad tragedy. May God be with all those that passed on during these accidents.
P.S. If this isn�t Jonathan Rute from GA, then if you know him please let him know that Donna Fletcher said hello. Thanks and may all your travels be safe ones.
