"get over it, we are all human and make mistakes"
Yes I agree, but these mistakes cost LIVES. Procedures must be in place to ensure that mistakes are rectified. It is not to bo**ock humans but to ensure human error is reduced to nothing. Hard to do in this day and age but safety is paramount in my view and when I fly everything is triplechecked. I do not want to die with 250 pax with it being my fault. Unfortunately companies do not see the safety element as paramount, money is first. The old saying "if you think safety is expensive, then wait till you have an accident" comes into mind.
Finally I agree with the poster of this thread that something had to be done. Unremoved Pitot Head covers do and have caused fatal aircraft crashes and if nobody stands up and says something then flying becomes unsafe.
