Why ? Because many Alaska pilots don't care about anyone but themselves .  They don't care in the least about those who have to risk they're own lives searching for them .  They don't care about risking the lives of those innocent passengers they have on board when they don't fill out complete flight plans , over load their airplane , don't properly check the fuel level and roll the dice flying in bad weather.   The sad part is , we'll read the same story many times each year because Alaska pilots learn nothing from others mistakes.
