IanW well said.
It is important for pilots to understand key failures learned in an event like this. In the real world of aviation, the follow up to such near hits is not always well thought out and applied by the powers that be. I too would very much like to know where our (multicrew) next signpost for error may be pointing.
Old Carthusian, your post is well timed but maybe not well informed. Perhaps you dont know what you dont know, yet. In a world where some believe our spheroid is still flat, it is important, however, to be reminded of our responsibilities. They do not diminish in actual fact, but do erode in our daily psyche. There are many posters here au fait with the aftermath of their own and others error's, perhaps they have experience that better qualifies their view where it differs from yours wrt the outcome for the AC crew?
It has been pointed out that you aviate. It would be reassuring to know that you, like other good aviators, are always trying to improve. Perhaps your short term path would benefit immensely from a wee study of aviation human factors, the behaviour of humans in complex systems. You never know, there may just be something gleaned that you can apply whether your shooting your next approach to a green lit taxiway or a grass runway.
Or, just look up 'wrong way Corrigan'. The truth may never come to light.
