Well SW, thanks for the concerns but I think it is not really nice of you to blame the swissair crash due to stick to the SOP's and not thinking "outside the box". It was a little bit more complecated then that.
And maybe you are right but for example, the company who I work now for is also only SOP orientated. Its the problem with a lot of airlines.
And no, I have not a swiss or german nationality and german is not my native language, but have never had problems with swiss people. So will see... Time will tell!
