Rather Simplistic View

John27022

You have a rather simplistic view of accident causation ... Although there is concern about fatigue issues and scheduling is an area which is being examined (at least at my airline) to say people are "People crash planes, because they are stupid, under trained, lie about their credentials....hire better people." just isnt so. I can say Ive lost friends (very good pilots) because of issues that are legitimate concerns wrt to technology and how it sometimes lets us down.

Coming from someone with 9000 hours big iron time (B777/B767/B757) AND a Masters degree in Human Factors Engineering.
