You know what I think is that a lot of Pilots don't know the normal performance to expect on their Aircraft. ie normal CLB pitch and N1, Normal CRZ pitch and N1 and normal DES pitch and N1 ( yeah yeah idle !! )
If don't really know what's normal how could you know what to set when the **** hits the fan? Like in Iced Pitots or Volcanic ash flameouts etc...
I've asked FO's in the past what pitch attitude and N1 should we have in cruise now, don't look ( cheater
) Quite a few got it wrong by quite a bit.....
