reading the whole thread, then reading the OP again, did it ever occur to any of the amateur psychologists here that maybe the person just isn't a very good pilot, and that's all there is to the story?

That's what I am thinking. Just not being a good pilot and making smarta&@ remarks doesn't really make someone suicidal.
I agree. Being a natural born smart@ss myself, I will often respond to a nosy nancy with a flippant remark. Like when you run into someone who starts in on how dangerous motorcycles are and so-and-so's cousin's brother died on one. I'd be liable to reply with, "I obviously have a death wish."

I just flew one of these guys out last night from a small town to Albuquerque for better health care. He will never have to worry about his future. He doesnt have one anymore.
