I was trying to make the point that times have probably changed over the last three decades: from smoking, to drink driving, to celebrities abusing their fame.
I appreciate there is more to flying than turning a computer on or off at the correct times.
With regard to experience, am I right in thinking the Air France difficulties were exacerbated by a relatively inexperienced pilot clinging to the stick throughout?
And a captain Sullenberger said, of another incident:"One way of looking at this might be that for 42 years, I've been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience, education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal."
