They can't forget to put the gear down anymore. After they did umteen times, aural warnings yell at them how to land proper, regardless if high, drunk, or transfixed in reading yahting magazine or rapping with the sky hags.
Collins and Honeywell make me feel really safe every time I figure out how to lock the metal fitting into the buckle so professionally demonstrated. Even that doesn’t work sometimes, the latest crash where the TCAS said “Pull Up” and gave a corresponding VSI easy to follow green band, they crashed and killed like 45 children amongst other souls… incredible.
Course, they have been known to ignore them (see above), pull circuit breakers, or hit break-away safety guarded aural cutout switches, but that's pretty rare. As rare as them getting bombed and then flying actually.
These stories are so rare they make headlines, but I do enjoy the Tonight Show opportunity to make fun of them in jest here. Still, amazing as it is, it's merely hype by a dramatic story hungry news force, and a pretty toejamty reflection on the 99.9% of the professional pilots who put you all safe and sound flight after flight. Every profession has turds, only jail, firing, and a good Asain inspired law in the vein of whipping them into a blubbering heap by cane should suffice.
These few retards out of thousands and thousands of good pro flight crews is appalling, but should be ignored mostly, just as the fondeling Dentist on "You Gotta See This" or "Real TV."
