The extraordinary levels of safety being achieved in scheduled commercial passenger aviation in recent years are the result of an obsessive focus on safety.
Yes, mistakes happen, but most are recognised possibilities with mitigations in place, like "land and live".
So, every pilot (regardless of experience level, or history) that has died from making a bad decision is a bad pilot? So, like if next week Sully made a bad decision that got himself killed, he's now considered a bad pilot?
Interesting way of looking at life. Not my cup of tea, but as the kids say, "You do you".
