If you think that pilots all believe they can 'walk on water' and never make mistakes, you must work with a sad bunch of people.
When we do make mistakes we certainly pay for them, unlike the others you mention.
411a does make valid points, but this '...some never learn' attitude is patronising and arrogant. He then goes on to confess that the '.....good 'ole Boeing 707 anti-skid saved my bacon...just.'
I would suggest that the 'grace of God' was the only difference on that day, but he has certainly not been humbled by the event.
While we're on the subject I agree that he is careful not to engage in personal insults - instead he insults whole groups of people - which is nice.
