Airmanship is a cognitive function that is relevant to any pilot in any aircraft, in any situation in any phase of flight. CRM is a behavioural, social and commincative function to enable a MPA flight crew to work as a team, sharing their individual levels of situational awareness to make it much more likely that both crew attain more complete and accurate metal model than probably they otherwise would.
However, ei_flyer makes an excelent point about one's awareness of one's abilities. CRM, is about teamwork, and teamwork is about responsibility and delegation. To be responsible one must know one's limits. To delegate one must believe the in the abilities of the teammembers. A core enabler of CRM is therefore the ability to believe that errors are inevitable and that one is just as likely to commit errors as the next man. It isn't necessary to learn CRM to understand that, but I guess the gravitas of the CRM concept will make more people receptive to those ideas.
