Agreed. CRM appears to be casting ever larger shadows over the recent crashes.
In my personal opinion, the lack of CRM is not only an Eastern Europe phenomenon. I have seen it first hand how the modern concept of CRM is misunderstood as an idea of simple task-sharing (who makes which call-outs & flicks which switches) and politeness to lesser ranking crew members.
I feel that those who wrote the book on CRM, did so for native English speakers who grew up in a more open culture. The books need to be re-written in plain language. CRM is about sharing, teamwork & agreement - not just command with a smile.
