IF this incident was due to a breakdown in preparation, allowing a significant distraction, lack of awareness of the view out of the window, excessive speed - or a few more 'correctable' errors (PLEASE NB the 'IF') then a 'heavy' disciplinary would certainly cause many to review their own performances and thus go a long way to preventing a repeat.

Incidentally, I believe the 'no blame' culture was originally developed to encourage admission of error which might have otherwise been 'missed'. This incident is a little different - difficult to 'miss'.
