Wow, Cookie, you are so full of yourself it boggles the imagination.

JJ (and just about everybody else who has been on this thread) has
contributed rational comments.

You, on the other hand, dismiss proven safety issues (dehydration not
a possible factor? really? ever fly out west by any chance?
unbelievable!).

You also dismiss the proven benefit of technology (radios, stall
warning, FLARM, etc), applied intelligently, with a casual "oh just
pay attention and fly better blah blah blah" approach. What are you, a
card carrying Luddite?

And you are a CFI. And presumably this is what you teach your
students!

Doesn't say much for our method of making instructors.

And I pity your students, they will have a lot to learn after you are
done with them!
