I agree with PapaH on the last point.
Captaining an airliner is serious business. The consequences of a chain of poor decisions is massive as is evidenced by the fact that folk are still debating an event nearly forty years later. We would do well not to forget this. The Captains of our current fleet of airliners should always have it tucked away in the back of their mind that many peoples loved ones are in their care and that any risk ( there is always some) is to be accepted judiciously.
Next time you see your passengers boarding remember how much faith all their loved ones are placing in the workings of your mind.
To brush over Collins's mistakes is to downplay this responsibility. I have often thought he sounded like a good man and wouldn't want us to do that anyway.
