It’s a credit to the vast majority of airline crews ... etc, Oh so, so true.
However, if we expect pilots to work closer to the edge then the industry should consider making the edge conditions more visible, but in dynamic, high risk operations the edge is rarely stable even if visible. Thus everyone has to embrace the uncertainty of operations, minimise the risks, reduce the unknowns, buffer the safety margins (e.g. Airbus landing perf FOLD); a new way of thinking about safety.
