I guess cross stitching is a new hobby after he got tired of crashing planes?

Not sure why my brain immediately went to this too

Poor guy, make one mistake and it's forever burned into peoples minds

Also it's like the kind of mistake my dumb ass would make so I should not be a pilot

One mistake? Most people are involved in at most one airplane accident in their lives. Ford has been involved in 4 where he was the pilot and a fifth as a passenger. All 3 incidents since 2015 were his mistake. The helicopter autorotation incident may not have been.
