That question of what is happening to our professionalism is interesting and i have to believe it's the culture (poor culture) that new pilots are coming into. This is definitely going to bring interesting results. Thank you so much for your comment!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-22091064631760500562017-05-18T06:49:49.691-07:002017-05-18T06:49:49.691-07:00A system approach to the problem is more than nece...A system approach to the problem is more than necessary. As humans we tend to look for the simplest explanation - the shortcut - and it is so easy put the blame on the pilot; but, the systems we work in and the problems that they present are complex, thus the solutions which we will require to solve them will be difficult and messy, too! Millions of interactions, influences, etc. shape our performance, and we should not look for the easy way out, simply highlighting one element. My question is: Are we diligent enough to work through the murkiness, and come up with the creative solutions necessary to solve complex issues, and be in it for the long haul, or will we continue to look for the easiest way out? Kudos to you for exploring this!<br /><br />Now, that is not to say that our behaviour as pilots should not bear part of the "blame". I do think that some of us fall short in airmanship (using Kern's definition / model which includes everything from discipline to knowledge to judgment), and could do more to improve; however, as the systems we manage become more complex, and the amount of information we are responsible for grows exponentially, the 'system' itself may be putting us at a disadvantage. Or, maybe I'm just a-rambling. :)Chetwyn Clarkenoreply@blogger.com
