And this goes for the Pisa Easy too....no one goes to work expecting this or similar to happen, no one goes to work thinking I'm going to make sure that something like this or similar is not going to happen today. As active commercial pilots, and this applies to most professions, you forget how much knowledge and ability has to be acquired and retained and indeed applied to perform the required duties that are expected. So to say " these guys screwed up" is not just stupidly obvious but massively crass to say the least.
There is no better example of the disparate and toxic state of the industry as the posts castigating the crews so readily. There are so many factors to every accident/incident, and indeed we all know that CRM along with automation has produced the incredibley safe industry that we know today. The true state of the nation discussions happen in the "good "CRM days, where we can chat unrestricted without fear. The way we fly hasn't changed that much, the amount we fly has, the rest between the flying has, how much we can fly has...
Surely the advancement of flight safety through the regulated investigation must have the remit to explore every aspect including commercial interests and the pressures they impose.....
