The thing with CRM as well is that it seems to go through phases and a bit like management theory depends on the theory of the year.
The core subjects on errors and human factors stays the same ish but the other soft stuff changes after nearly every high profile crash. It swings from touchie group hugs to more command and follow but don't let the captain kill you. And it also depends as well on the person training it and their personal take on it.
And some EASA inspectors seem to try and spread to put it blunty "French" style of CRM. One of them want us to replace all references to Captain to CM1 and FO to CM2 and line training Captain was to be changed to line operations facilitator or some such pish. When asked why all he could bleat about was that it was industry standard. Maybe for ATR and Airbus operators it is, but there is no need to inflict that pish on the rest of us.
Yes it is BKK if you use the edit ignore list function under your profile and add the pull what and the other mitty users, it turns into a decent thread again.
SA is a function of airmanship and vice versa. Improving one improves the other.
In some ways we could define both as applied common sense, has anyone got any idea how to train common sense into someone?
