Do you really think that would have helped?


Yes Jay, I do believe training improves a pilot's skills.

This was more of a judgment issue than a flying skills issue. Most
pilot training, at least short of the airline's CRM training, rarely
covers much about judgment. Some instructors are much better in this
regard than others, but it simply isn't high on the list typically.
