No panacea
That is such useful advice. It is very easy for me to get hooked into exploring CRM as the panacea which became my starting point for understanding the Hudson incident. Experience and 'airmanship' .. in other words the core skills which are key and can so easily be overlooked in analysis.
In the prison system we had something similar called 'jailcraft' which was replaced with 'meeting targets'. That is to say, the cost of honing the basics was deemed too expensive relying instead on watered down basic training for new recruits and relying on them remembering this in the months and years ahead with no refreshers and assuming they have life skills, team working and awareness skills as well as a modicum of common sense. Or maybe I'm becoming cynical in my old age
