To have the attitude that mistakes don't happen or that a mistake can only be a wrong frequency is pretty harsh. Just dialing in the wrong NDB freq and thinking that it is the right one can be the very key in the chain of events that lead to a crash. I have to side with Cruise on this one that we as professional aviators don't train for real world scenerios most of the time in the sim and this needs to change. Had you been in the same situation can you really say that you would have done anything different who knows? I'm not saying that we should turn our heads and act as if this didn't happen but don't bash the crew as if they weren't trained to the same standard you or I were.
