"I can't think of any that were caused by people blindly following procedure."
Probably, because when 'everyone' follows 'procedures'....then we have a situation where "you can't blame me - I followed the SOP's!"
I have to agree with other posters....what the heck ever happened to PILOTS! When the A/P is turned on at 500 AGL (or 1,000 AGL as seems to be common place now), on a long haul flight....does anyone really think that bi-annual sim assessments are enough?
