jcjeant,
Someone mentioned at one point the Challenger Shuttle accident happening in front of so many watching it, and the O-rings problem that was known for quite some time.
This was mentioned before perhaps....There are many components in the lessons of AF 447, but at least 3 of them are related to flying/pilots: one is flying with lack of speed indications, second is avoidance of High Altitude Stall, and the third is High Altitude Stall Recovery (in night conditions).
Like after the Challenger accident, there are many signs that this may be somewhat of a turning point in training and practicing, as I am sure talent is there, or was always there.
A new generation of Flight Simulators for training is in order, better curriculum, including a wider span of theoretical physics and basic principle of flying, better documentation, better procedures... and the list can get very long.....
These are just a few...

But is not this exactly what is expected of professional pilots?
Or professional pilots position is now .. only be able to pilot planes when all is smooth but not when problem arise ?
