His squadron commander chose not to ground the guy

Because the mishap pilot had friends in high places and was close to retirement. The squadron commander could not ground him without suffering a career setback himself so he chose to go along and get along. It was all wink-and-nod stuff and career political BS and it got three good men and one idiot killed.
