The Before Start Chx now include turning the mobile phone off. As to working with what they inherited I can see the hackles rising on those who are at the top end of the seniority list. The best of that group that I have worked with were the young guys who were enthusiastic and put a lot of effort into getting their command.
Then there are the people who only got to fly a jet because they happened to be in the right place at the right time. The pilots for whom wearing four bars only meant they got paid more and didn't have to put in any effort. Look at the report again and assess where were the command skills demonstrated during this incident.
If you look at the high profile Jetstar incidents look at the background of the Captains. Look at the pilots in the bottom 5% some of whom seem to where it as a badge of honour! Like I said its not the young pilots (although even the youngest of that group are now in their thirties) it tends to be the older one's.
