There should be no training beyond SOPs but pilots should be aware of where they stop so that the can act outside the box

I don't suppose that the presenter indicated upon what basis crews might

(a) recognise the occasion, and, subsequently,

(b) "act outside the box"

in the absence of any relevant role-play exercises which might provide some basis for so doing competently ?

I see little point in endeavouring to train for black swan events, per se, but to use appropriate scenarios to provide generically useful training (for confidence and resilience) appear to be useful, I would have thought ?

Whatever happened to the skilled artisan pilot philosophies of yesteryear ?

I'm afraid that many of the older pilot brethren will have a jaundiced view of the cited philosophy ...
