Just a couple of myths I can recall in 15 secs:
Modern pax transport aeroplanes are capable of reaching coffin corner.
Mach stall exists.
FMS computed position obviates the need for brain computed one.
More experienced pilot is safer and v.v.
"Handling the Big jets" is obsolete.
FBW changes the aerodynamic behaviour of the aeroplane.
FBW is part of the autopilot.
You can not handfly an FBW Airbus in normal law.
With EFIS there won't be partial panel flying anymore.
EFIS display is basically digital.
Speed and altitude tapes are difficult to read.
With FMS taking VOR, DME, GPS, ADC and IRS inputs, there won't be map shifts anymore.
Turboprops are easier to handle and operate than jets.
Since, IAW our Mammonist doctrine, money spent equals dedication, sorting out merely hopeful from truly dedicated is best done by overpricing CPL training, making prospective pilot pay for type rating and topping it off by selling time in RH seat during normal pax ops.
What we read in "Fate is the hunter" is not applicable to modern airline ops.

As for Dubrovnik and Addis Abeba, what I recall is a slightly (an I really mean slightly) at odds with what you posted, I'll check my references and get back on it later.
