Wow, this thread drift is truly pathetic.
I'm glad to know some major/military pilots who respect the hell out of the tough job regional pilots do...multiple times a day in all conditions.
"USMCFlyer" posted an excellent point on a similar thread to extract the "who" from this learning experience and focus on the "what and why" (paraphrased).
Another learning example (a-la Sully & Skiles) might be the crew who aborted landing a few years ago because, if memory serves me, during the flair something didn't "feel" right even though all cockpit indications were normal, (their gear wasn't down/locked)...think it was an Am. Eagle ERJ crew?
Just reminds me that no matter how mind-numbingly routine the job can become, to fight complacency. You never know when you're going to have "That Day" in your aviation career...unless you're Tim Martins!
