Probably apocryphal, but there's the tale of the manager at IBM who screwed up and cost the company millions of dollars. He got called in to see the CEO and said "I guess you've called me in to fire me". The response was "Are you kidding? I just spent $30million teaching you a lesson."

What's the chance that either of those pilots, regardless of the reason they got it wrong this time, will make that mistake again?
