OK we get it... "Airmanship".

Thank the lord that in these days of PC BS it has not been translated into
'airpersonship'.

Interesting to hear the various speculative theories about this incident, and to hear the NTSB/FAA is making an investigation. Their conclusion will be interesting; especially in light of the generally well received and supported "Children of the Magenta Line" video. I agree with the philosophy of that presentation, but as it says, use the tools wisely. A slave to one does not mean gung-ho is the opposite. A careful measured use of what is needed, from Mk.1 eyeball to triple autopilot, is the name of the game. Having the judgement to decide is sometimes what is missing.
