Difficult. If regulations would be done by people with knowledge I would agree, but regulations are done by regulators and Europe does not have a good history of success in that area.
Yes, eyebrows rising and scraping is the reaction of almost every pilot on how stupid one can be.
But, these damn stupid things we saw surfacing the last weeks cannot be cured by regulations.
Being a gangster there is at least brainpower you can work with, but being stupid nothing helps.
