j s, it’s a little harsh to state that the authors are ‘wrong’; they have an opinion which should be respected.
However, I agree that the article is of little value because it appears to be biased by hindsight and tailored towards a particular agenda.
A meaningful discussion requires an understanding of the design principles and objectives of many years ago, the assumptions made about piloting skills, education, training, and procedures. These should be compared with today’s standards and expectations.
Many of the ‘problems’ stated in recent times stem for this gap in understanding; - different points of view, different operational environment, training standards, social expectations, etc.
j s, vilas,
