Not according to one, ill-informed, poster.

French media have reported that there was another person due to be onboard the flight, who refused to fly over concerns about the aircraft itself. I don't speak French and don't have the link to the site, a colleague was reading it out to me. I know it's easy to say in hindsight that it was a bad decision to fly, but that plane over water at night?
What difference does it make being at night? Single prop planes fly over water all the time.
Who was the expert this time?
Shouldn't be too hard to find.

What I find odd is that there has been no mention of a 'Mayday' radio call from the plane. Not only are there are airports (obviously) at Jesey and Guernsey but also one in Alderney. The local airline - Aurigny - used to be based there (dunno if they still are) Might I point out that many aircrew in WW2 survived for pretty long periods in little rubber boats in that part of the sea, But these days such boats usually have emergency beacons. No mention of these either.
Mostly jets.

I've been trying to remember the useless striker who used to play for Blackpool, that flew into Shoreham Airport on transfer deadline day. I'm pretty sure that wasn't a jet. It was around 2012. I think he came from Swansea.

What do you need to see ?
He said useless
Why fly at night over the channel in poor and worsening weather conditions, in a shitty light aircraft with one pilot carring a £15m live asset on board?

That's him.
It's the sort of situation that'll have some really trivial justification attached to it. (and money, it's always money)

Whatever the reason, we can be sure that this sort of thing won't happen again for Premier League players.
From his whatsapp message he had training the next day. Why his representatives put him in that thing rather than a jet I guess we will never know.
