Unvicelike. Welcome to Rororheads. I agree with your observations.

You only have to read some of the threads here that involve incidents clearly caused by lack of airmanship. Unfortunately there are also apologists here who will always disagree with observations such as yours. Just be warned that I have been ridiculed (as will you be) for suggesting that some recent examples of bad airmanship were simply that - bad airmanship.

I think part of the problem is that training today just not emphasise airmanship. A big part of airmanship is simply consideration for others and when society does not consider that important it is hardly surprising that it is a value that is disappearing generally.
