Obviously not a fan of Human Factors and CRM issues then Menen!?!?!
'Pilot Error' as a 'cause' for accidents went out a
LONG time ago. What gripes me worse though is that the media love it and crawl all over terms like that. Sure, the pilots tend to be the people to make the
LAST bad call but that doesn't mean that in the absence of making that call that everything is otherwise hunky dory. EG: QF1 showed Qantas (and it's drivers) that even if the prang had been adverted and the aircraft had gone around that there were still some significant 'other' issues at play. Read the investigation for the full break down.
The over run was an event that probably occurred at the end of a long error chain. The decision to not report it is something that concerns me more!?!?! One is things that can be fixed by looking at software, hardware, systems, and all the other good guts stuff that Reason and SCHELL looks at; the other is a flagrant breach. If the crew has been disciplined over that misjudgement then nothing more need be said!
Spermie, it's great to see members standing up against members from their own airline and 'calling' them for irresponsible/poor behaviour. It isn't pleasant but it beats having nongs constantly 'drag down' a reputation that some people work hard to build up!
