Nameless Wonder
You are completely wrong about Aileron Drag. His point, I believe, is that there are some very ignorant postings on this thread.
Not differences of opinion between peers but from people who clearly have little or no idea about the subject matter eg the challenges of landing a large jet at 4am (body clock time) whilst under training having, possibly, been kept high on the infamous slam dunk onto the 28s at SFO. Being kept high and having to sort it all out and make the stabilised approach criteria is no mean feat. Whether you think pilots are over paid prima donnas we sure as hell earn our flight pay in those last few minutes.
Anyway, here's BBK's top tip: watch the NTSB press conferences and for a real treat watch Captain Sullenberger's interview that was linked a few pages back. He gives an EXCELLENT insight into human factors and makes the point, with great eloquence, why it is wrong to pass judgement on the crew when the facts are not fully known and analysed.
