That's great recceguy, but what you have experienced/ been able to achieve isn't a benchmark for International Air Transport Safety 'going forward'.
You had your time in the Herc and that is great, you received ongoing military training ( as did I but that is irrelevant) and now fly commercial aircraft to a very high standard I am sure........but how does that prevent accidents like this occurring in the future?
Most people who have flown for more than a few years understand that somotogravic illusion is a phenomenon that does occur and is usually dealt with in an appropriate manner due to well trained and rested crews.
What many in the industry are worried about right now is that rostering practices have developed to a point where crew are so tired/fatigued that they are less likely to be able to effectively deal with situations such as FZ981 due to slower mental processing. Even perhaps that crews unwittingly create situations such as FZ981 due to slower mental processing.
Your exceptional flying abilities don't really offer any solutions to the problems we are discussing.
