gatekeeper

I appreciate the value of your post, and I am sure there are some pilots interested in the actual matters that you raise. Technology advances are related to profit. Resultant safety improvement seem more a by-product.
My post #16 bypassed your questions and went directly to immediate solutions being in the hands of each individual captain.
It would be too much to hope that all, most or even many would look to the differences that they could make without waiting for Boeing, FAA, President of the USA, other governments and airlines to drill down through their other interests to actually make safety contributions.
I am a realist, so I am not surprised when there are those who want to keep the status quo, with safety solutions inside current simulator training and in the control of companies and institutions.
It is crystal clear to me that the safety gatekeeper is the captain. Every captain should be absolutely certain of this awesome responsibility ….. unlike the current reliance on others.
Embracing maximum responsibility is a heavy load.
