There are two things I've learned (hopefully more than just 2, but these are key) over the past 1.5 years. It's it's not a mission, it's a flight. And the other is, I'm not "alerted" to my flight, I received my "wake-up notification".

Thus changing it from a military point of view to a civilian point of view.

I do agreed that more folks need to learn the CBA. Even I find folks in both the Capt and FO position that need to read the rules. If I hear something that's "odd" I usually open up my iPad and try to find it. Otherwise the old phrase of "can you tell me where that's written" usually works.
