What a load of crap Sunfish. This was one incident involving a cadet. The other incident in Darwin involved someone who met all of the requirements of the the FAA imposed hours requirements and should therefore be "safe". Configuration cockups have been going on for many, many years involving pilots with enormous experience. Anyone remember a B146 nearly pancaking on a beach north of Cairns?
I am amazed that professionals who work in the industry jump on these Safety reports to try and prove a point. If anything undermines a Safety Culture wouldn't it be the fear of some disgruntled cock publicising something you self-reported?
In all of this crap there is possibly a bigger point being missed that Dark Knight has mentioned. Surely this is more serious?
