Wisdom

If you sieve through the preceding posts, and take out the competitive BS, the truth shines through. Airlines today MUST be also training organisations. Pilot managers MUST convince the CEOs that mere compliance is insufficient, and that the "getting of wisdom" is both instruction based AND experience based.

Classroom based "led discussion" can turn an incompetant, under-confident candidate into a calm, thinking captain. The "A" & "T" in ATPL discriminates between people who can fly an aeroplane, and those who can lead and inspire an entire crew. Guided experience can stop them from slamming into a mountain.

As Douglas Adams wrote " The trick to being able to fly is throwing yourself at the ground, and missing."

Please miss.
