Then he's misread the situation and we ALL pay the price and you may be right.

Did his first experience of bad judgment in driving when he shouldn't have been teach him anything ?

Nope. He did it again, didn't he ?

Some people just need to make a mistake more then once to learn. His mistakes at US Airways are like that first time when the flashing mars lights illuminated in his rear-view mirror. Will this time be simply another roadside test and he'll learn THIS TIME or will he nail a tree (or a person) before the mars lights illuminate again ?

I think he's really hanging it out there this time.
