Hi gums, msbbarratt,
I cannot agree better, as retired airline pilot and scientific and technological IT analyst.
Human belong to the "effective system" before aside effect of every other human factor.
Degenerating dutch roll, or more positive the HUD, are good examples.
Airlines should save $$$ for training better and more on sim and planes by saving the leasing rates and expensive research and investigations and increasing insurances.
Civilian aviation needs better instructors too, with experience of high performance systems: Military instructors could bring their expertise again as they did it during one or two decades after WWII,
...and how you do it on PPRuNe
