Time to awake an old friend (post #1 here) and check whether any others now agree? Take a moment also to read Sciolistes' link from February, and note with some irony perhaps that the Air France "corporate safety manager Bertrand de Courville dealt with the art of safe go-arounds." during the 'presentations' - an interesting focus perhaps in the light of what we now think.

Ladies and gentlemen - there have been many calls for a significant shift in focus in 'training' - I again add mine. Time for the remaining few 'old' pilots with any clout in the system to take a stand against the accountants and managers who are dazzled in the headlights of an imperfect technology and training system and ensure all pilots simply have BASIC flying skills and the BASIC tools with which to use them.
