Just for the benefit of American pilots CRM stands for Crew Resource Management. It's a concept brought in in the UK over the past 15 years or so to improve safety and facilitate crew co-operation.
I beg to differ. CRM was either initiated in the US, or was given impetus, by the EAL L-1011 accident of December 29, 1972 -- the infamous
flight 401 crash in the Everglades.
In 1980 UAL instituted a company CRM program after a
DC-8 fuel exhaustion accident at PDX, December 28, 1978
CRM was credited for saving over a hundred lives in the
1989 UA 232 DC-10-10 accident at Sioux Falls.
