"we are taking a wrong turn somewhere when flying no longer comes first"

Yet, there is no safer time within the history of airline flying to fly.
Although those of us who learned on round dials often scoff at the procedures, the glass cockpit does have a better safety track record. Still, a lot of the glass cockpit training we do these days seems to endlessly emphasize stuff like route mods and FMS gotchas. I'm sure some back to basics crew coordination during taxi and runway identification procedures will show up in next year's sim checks in the wake of this mishap.
