To put in language suitable for this forum...

Don't ever want to fly with an idiot of a Captain like that. I suppose he thought the co-pilot was joking...

  I'll bet the PIC knew the rotors would strike the trees, but perhaps figured they'd chop through without any harm done. Ha! Well, at least one of those guys learned something that night (assuming they survived)!!

Yea, saw that one on bigboys a while ago, wonder what happened to the pilot (like, was he booted out)

no, the ribbing back at base would have been punishment enough:) Seriously though, i doubt this would have cost him his Wings, most likely grounded for a period of time then flight school, and a huge part of his pay cheque going towards repairs.
