Well you certainly said it all?
I feel we would be better if CRM and the line between HUMAN FACTORS wasn't there.
Secondly, they pontificate about pilots undertaking CRM/Human factors.
While I am a strong believer in the sense,I too don't like the "RELIGIOUS" aspect and fervor of it.
When I see Aircraft engineer's and Airline management/bean counters having to undergo the same teachings,
we may be somewhat more balanced.
IF they took away the CRM title, and called it HUMAN FACTORS, I for one would be more interested.
You are in the cockpit, you are the resource,I am the Manager, now do as I say.
