Obviously you are a skygod
JammedStab, and I bow to your supreme status, depth of knowledge and wisdom. I'm thinking the only time you ever made a mistake was the occasion you thought you had made a mistake.
I wonder about your ability to comprehend a short statement. If I thought I was a Skygod, would I have said...

Maybe the skygods are the pilots out there that according to other posts on this thread, are not using checklists. After all, why do we even have them in the first place? Perhaps for the non-skygods who do make mistakes. I believe that lesson was supposedly learned some 80 years ago in a B-17 crash where the flight controls were locked.

Very nice. But you have provided absolutely no info on what you do to compensate for this which could save lives. I have provided some info on what I do to compensate for having the same problem. Check your killer items for that particular type just prior to takeoff. You will find that it is something that is a redundant procedure for years and thousands of flights until it possibly(or possibly not) saves the day.
