Nice summary. In re: "It is ...Dear Christine:<br /><br />Nice summary. In re: "It is well-known in safety design that when left to passive monitoring, humans are prone to make errors," I'd suggest that we <i>really</i> need to take a serious look at Adaptive Automation (as discussed and linked in <a href="http://n631s.blogspot.com/2009/10/automation-induced-complacency.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> on my blog).<br /><br />As to: "rare cases in which notoriously opinionated pilots are ambivalent," this appears to be even more apparent in the reactions to the recent JFK "Take-Your-Kid-to-Work Day" incident.<br /><br />In both cases, hanging around at a couple of very good aviation fora, I perceive that the old-line professional pilots are much tougher while we "experienced amateurs" tend toward the "Teach 'em a lesson, then cut 'em some slack" attitude.<br /><br />Changing technology, changing mores. Add in Colgan 3407 if you want to complicate the situation. May you live in interesting times?<br /><br />Warm regards,<br /><br />FrankFrank Van Hastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821687850881538546noreply@blogger.com
