Why would crews not be able to understand (and manage) the slightly different 'rules of flying' that some sensor failure may cause, such as the loss of protections caused by law reversion?

Its not the crew, the airlines or the training. All airlines train and all crews are trained - it is the type of training that needs to be reviewed

Re quote from Natstrackalpha about the type of training given.
Could not agree more!!!
Forget meaningless time in the sim and trying to land on the piano keys. Fully held off landings seem to be a thing of the past except on 2 airlines mainly crewed by "real pilots". WHY. Try landing an old taildragger without this method and watch the resulting bounce(s)! As a result the U/C gets a pounding. You might float down the R/W a bit but no worry.
In our budget restricted times who wants to shell out on tyres and U/C for clueless but highly educated individuals (poorly trained) who cannot fly.

Seems that all you need for a career is education. WRONG WRONG WRONG. A passion for flying is what you need. Go back to teaching basic piloting skills and not just fly by numbers and the world will be a safer place!!!

Hear endeth the rant
