This brings up a serious question to our modern day pilots. Just watching the Air Transat A330 glider into portugal.
Way to much emphasis is on checklists and less on common sense. despite a checklist, a good pilot should be scanning aircraft condition prior to all phases of flight, WORKLOAD excuse is only a scapegoat for neglence , hell the DMV would fail you if it was a common car. This is your profession, you are aviators, act like them...
