BOAC, re, "Indeed - yet another 'WHAT??!!! Too many these days."

And it's not newbies, magenta-liners, innocents (like Bonin & Shaw, et al) who are doing this.

This is Guam, Busan, Charlotte NC, Smolensk, Crossair...all CFITs due to total absence of "checking six"..."where are we, what's my required altitude and when can I go down further?" It's just three components - slope, distance and height and they MUST agree, from intercept to touchdown.

And not one crew member in any of these accidents called for a go-around until it was too late. Why? Why especially, are First Officers so damn reluctant to speak up? CRM is thirty years old.
