I always thought the personality of a save pilot should be that of an accountant. Do everything by the book and do not try new methods that are not approved by a higher authority. Since I am also a trained economist, I know what I am talking about. I hate accounting with a passion you can only dream of.

"Do everything by the book and do not try new methods that are not approved by a higher authority. "

Assuming the higher authorities know what they are talking about.

But yes, the Bader method is not appropriate any more - nor was it really appropriate in his time.

Hughes500: I know who Douglas Bader was. Read his book many moons ago. But Google does not know anything about his method.

I think it was a reference to the fact that the learning ones limits by going beyond them (and crashing your aeroplane) is no longer the preferred or accepted procedure.
