Denver Cal 1404 ect ect..
Most (not all) accidents like that took place before a strong CRM concept had been developed and practiced by the airlines. Tenerife is ancient history. How many accidents caused by pilot error in the Majors have occurred in the last 10 years????
Experienced pilots are statistically safer than less-experienced ones. Call AIG Aviation and ask them why they require pilot information forms for flight departments they insure.
