When I was a pilot pretty much everyone with much experience kinda figured that all things being equal the runway wAs going to be slippier at the other end.

Another round of outrage and angst over passengers acting like idiots in an emergency. Personally I have serious doubts they are ever going to change.

I can imagine the occasional Crew member using the word "reeks" about a cause of an accident b4 much is known. Not impressive. I was sometimes impressed with the regularity with which airline crews managed to operate into less than ideal airports in less than ideal wx with such frequency, considering the forces in play, and these accidents suggest to me that I wasn't impressed enough.

All in all, despite the high incidence of elevated egos, I stand in admiration of the professional pilots that carry on.
