DWN3GRN....you can be my wingman...anytime.
Sure times have changed but look at the attitudes of the drivers back than compared to today. Whatever happened to "we're in this business because we love to fly" and whining was left for the barstool? And yes, I whine with the best of them. As far as CRM, it's a great tool when properly used, but it sure is tough to swallow sometimes when I'm told I
have to ask the copilot for his two cents when the crap hits the fan and he has a 500 hour blank stare...mostly VFR or under the hood. And who knows maybe the mortality rate was a bit higher back than because the pilots were actually flying the airplane while actually listening to a navaid, pumping the gear, smacking the copilot....hell who had time for CRM?
