Sounds like they should sort it out before placing civilians in danger

In retrospect, it was a bad plan to let a young Captain who mostly served as a liaison in DC and not a helicopter pilot to train on that route. A simpler one where she could progressively train up to would have been wiser. She also should have listened to her more well seasoned Warrant Officer copilot. ADS-B In wouldn’t have addressed any of those problems
