As always, now there will have to be a reaction to prevent any other
incidents from ever happening in the future. One pilot's lack of
awareness
will cause headaches for everyone.

Hopefully, something will be learned and changed. Unfortunately, this
process is never totally right or the "changes" seemingly sufficient
enough
to prevent accidents down the line. The usual result is a time of
"increased
awareness" by the community, followed by a time of laxity, followed by
another inevitable accident caused by someone else in another place.
It seems that accident prevention is a never ending sine curve of good and
bad.

Very true, and draconian measures have no greater lasting value. However, I
really like your suggestion (from past practice and posted on r.a.p) of the
wing sitter. I'm not volunteering, which I'll leave to the young bucks, but
I really like the concept because it leaves the wing sitter free from any
personal driving responsibility to attend to the task at hand. About the
only obvious risk is the possibility of sliding off in an unexpected stop;
which should be safe enough if left to the appropriate personnel.
