Mr Idle B - your plea appears to have gone un-noticed. Yes, there are many of us who understand the arrows and hooks and keeping 'rubber side down'. The problem we are facing here is that a particular system of flight (NB no names) appears to engender in some the chance to forget all this and become reliant on the system to look after them. I think you can be assured that many of these have gone away scratching their heads and may now be a little less relaxed about this and hopefully the manufacturers and training systems will also adjust. You will for example, note that the 'drill' taught for stall recovery has been changed following the accident and that I'm sure one large airline will be reviewing the abilities and training of its pilots. Looking at your location I would suggest you have a good chance of being behind someone 'wot knows'.
