Eric, you are stuck thinking inside the box and inside the checklist. A checklist is a minimum which is just part of situational awareness [to use jargon you should understand]. Thinking inside the checklist means a person becomes ritually checklist oriented and bound, like being inside the event horizon of a black hole. They will think they are doing a good job but all they have done is go through a checklist. There is an unbounded realm which no checklist can adequately cover other than to a 99.9% or suchlike success rate. <So you think a pilot doesn't need a checklist to safely fly an A-380 under all possible conditions?> Where did you get such a weird idea? I guess by thinking inside the box and being bound to the checklist. I also don't think it's a good idea to fly an A380 upside down to get to its destination, in case you somehow have incorrectly concluded that . You mistake thinking for arrogance, which is part of your faulty thinking. Faulty thinking is dangerous. Authoritarian people notoriously dislike thinking and require simplistic obedience to ritual and dogma with no thinking allowed. If all you need is checklists, you might as well just get a computer to fly the thing for you. Which is probably quite a good idea given how notoriously hopeless large primates are at doing things, whether or not they use checklists. Computers are good at check-lists. Mqurice
