SASless is trying to say that we all make mistakes, obviously. Yes, we can be critics and point out all the errors and yes, they made it through pure luck. Good for them. Point made. Now we can move ahead and learn from her experience and know what NOT to do in a similar situation.
I know the only reason I am writing this could be attributed to pure luck, I have also been scared silly knowing how close I was to a messy end and some of those experiences were due to my errors and some were out of my control. I tried to turn one of my experiences into a lesson for other people and it was also taken the wrong way.
Her incident may not teach you anything but there are a lot of pilots out there who still have to learn those lessons and I think she is doing a good thing. I dont like admitting I screwed up and I dont think she does either, its hard. If her openness makes someone think and saves lives in the future, its great for all of us.
Pilots in general are very critical and more lessons could be learned if we just let a fellow driver share their mistakes without making them feel foolish. I know how much I learnt just from listening to more experienced pilots and I would like to see that encouraged.
