All the other discussion on the number of times the word pilot appears is just intellectual pontificating!
So you're in favour of allowing the dumbing down of our writing skills,
Lookleft?
It appears that, since the days of the Macarthur Job and the Aviation Safety Digest there has already been considerable dumbing down in the area of ATSB reports
and investigations.
The problem with dumbing down is that there is no end to it. You either accept a standard, and work to maintain that standard, or allow the open-ended dumbing down, resulting in wordy reports that fail to convey the message effectively.
