I am using it as one of many examples, yes.

That is a reasonable thing to do.

Three experienced pilots at a national airline took 3 minutes to utterly fail to fly an aircraft with a minor indication error.
They were not pay to fly.
They were not from a far eastern airline with a "dodgy" reputation.
They did not have an extensive history of poor check rides.
They were, to all intents and purposes "average" pilots.
The post crash reports have not recommended continuing as normal, they have recommended retraining on a huge scale across the piste.



It is not, however, reasonable to use not crashing a serviceable aircraft as an example of good piloting.

Can you see?
