What about the orbit on finals that took a crew below the elevation of Cork airport, leading ATC to hit the crash button? What about the well-publicised incident in Rome with the bereaved Captain? What about the aeroplane that failed to go-around when instructed to twice in Dublin, flying at 200kts at a mile finals, barely avoiding an A330 that was taking off? What about the runway excursions that seem to stay out of the press somehow?
And Memmingen of course - potential CFIT- high speed, high ROD descending to something like 450'agl whilst still 4 miles from the airfield before terrain pull up warning and go-around.

Inappropriate runway selected for approach and landing, by crew's own admission, "to save time" (and get back on schedule presumably).

Hotel Tango , you are spot on with your observations! Live by the sword and die by the sword.........
