Absolutely Brian.
If we haven't at some time or another said to ourselves "There but for the grace of God...", then we haven't really been amongst it.
But the fact remains, the capacity for basic errors by those entrusted with the operation of an aircraft still never ceases to amaze me. lately I find myself shaking my head at the performance of some pilots, as one might, whilst following a confused and indecisive driver on the road!
It's just not good enough!
