Agree, JF.
@ PBL: I'm by no means saying that all we should look at is how pilots can prevent poor choices which can lead to accidents. I am fully aware of what bad ergonomics for example can do to someone's performance, or other more complex "chains" find their origin in how the human tries to cope with a design, but as a pilot all I can do is what is in my limited scope of control.
As rightly identified by John Farley.
However, I'd be more than delighted to be able to pass my experience on to those designing the stuff that pilots will use and in fact, have already done so on a few occasions.
So to me it is not black and white, just long term and short term.
And learning how to survive short term so I can benefit from the long term
developments made by others.
