Rongotai
Just for your info, in all the courses I have done on Human Factors/CRM, only one (of about seven) has been run by pilots. All the rest have been run by HF professionals or experts from other industries.
The rationale behind this is of course that people outside the industry tend not to come to the course with all the accumulated baggage of an airline pilot.
Personally I wouldn't have it any other way, which is why I was not being in any way insulting when I inferred that you may not be in the industry.
Having said that, non-industry folk don't always understand the nuances of the job, or some of the technical aspects, hence the long (and pointless, it seems) post on FDR/CVR and SOP's.
Right, back to Mt Panorama...
