Hopefully things will work out for Mr Holland. When I was flying fixed wing air medical the company I flew for was very good about not pressuring crews to fly in weather we didn’t belong in. Sounds like that ice storm in Seattle was it. One of things we were told during indoc was that we were not to take into account the patient’s medical condition when deciding whether to accept a trip, only to conduct trip as safely as possible. Most times we did not even know what the medical condition of the patient was. Same safety protocols for organ retrieval. Too many times a medical flight has ended with some kind of accident in the past because of some kind of shortcut by the crew. My father was a kidney transplant recipient so I have some knowledge in what Mr Holland went through trying to get to the hospital in Seattle in time. I wish all the best to Mr Holland.
