Nothing wrong with a good slamming match

I wonder, and worry, much more about the way people look at the job. I really belief pilots are worse prepared for their job in the current system. They know the freebees in the hotel by heart, but the implications of any decision made by them is an area for improvement. What happened to the armchair flying? Of all the stupid things I have done in my professional career 99% could have been avoided by thinking beforehand about them... I still feel stupid I didn't. Any crew thinking aloud what to do after a suspected tail strike or when the alt. alert sounds could have avoided the whole situation with the touch of a single button... The amount of experience doesn't count at all, just the quality (of the brain work)
