GDG, I sort of see where you are coming from but would suggest that 'experience fade' is far more prevalent than we may think. You just need to look at the various other cock-ups that have happened in the past year (SWA wrong airport, UPS Washington, wheelbarrowing 737 at JFK (?) and BA 747 at Jo'burg). All of these appear to have an airmanship issue.
