pretty obvious that this is a one-sentence simplified summary.
Summaries are supposed to be simplified but not dead wrong. Way I understood it, it referred to AF447, not the titular occurrence while comparing the two.
there are some pilots who actually know what to do - one could try asking them.
How does one differentiate those old hands who think they know what to do and are right and those who think they know what to do but are simply so-far-so-lucky?
