Blender.

I wasn't challenging you to a p***ing contest. Honest. Go back and re-read my post. I repeat: "I get what you're trying to say".

I was contesting your implied view that airline flying consists of nothing more than "pushing buttons", requires little in the way of airmanship, hardly anything in the way of handling, and "very unexercised" decision making.

The reason why there is so many more accidents in helicopters compared to jets is because operations are much more difficult, require more skill, and most of all, a great deal of common sense and airmanship skills.
Interesting implication in that statement.

trust me a thrust reverser deployment is nothing compared to a TR failure.
Tell that to the Lauda Air 767 pax and crew.

Engine failures are just a matter of proper CRM and procedure in most modern passenger ACFT today
I must remember that.

Anyway, I'm off to push some buttons.
