NTSB- New Board-anyother Human Factors guy
"... Member Rosekind ... fatigue expert ... specializes in fatigue management. ... was Chief of the Aviation Operations Branch in the Flight Management and Human Factors Division at the NASA Ames Research Center.... was the Director of the Center for Human Sleep Research ...""... term as a Member of the NTSB expires December 31, 2014 "
Hmmm, another Human Factors guy.
In an investigation, we all see various elements, mostly related to our background. Bomb-guys see sabotage, engineers see design weaknesses, Ops-guys see weaknesses in procedures.
The problem with HF-guys is that any mysterious inflight upset or breakup, or mysterious ARC, becomes a study of the pilot's human weaknesses (SD, lack of SA, &ct).
I hope the next new Board Member has some technical insight.
