Whomever that dude is, he has a skill set. And is quite intelligent, knowing the limits of himself and the airplane.
Just because someone does something in an airplane that you wouldn't do, doesn't make them stupid.

I do know that the safety record up in Alaska is abysmal compared to the rest of the industry.
