Ironbutt,
I said nothing about forgiving those mistakes by US airline pilots nor them striving for excellence in efforts in the future in avoiding seemingly simple mistakes in airmanship and command of the aircraft.
I am equal opportunity in expecting a high standard of pilots from any nationality, race, creed, culture or religion or belief. I have also served in the 3 seats of analog and glass cockpits up to the B777. I am also well educated on the problems of maintaining currency as a long haul relief pilot on the 777.
