I know, I know, this is asking wayyyyyy too much from from the FAA and airline management.
And I surely hope I am not making a mistaken assumption by classifying pilots in the group of people called "mature, responsible adults".
I dont know why you're asking management/the FAA to bear that burden. Sadly, some major/legacy pilots proved their incapable of handling that kind of responsibility. As well as blasted right past their destination while having electronic devices in front of them while involved in "heated discussion".
