There's something of a different lesson here, isn't there? We, who
know something about aviation, find flaws with the reporters who focus

concerned about the importance (it was 150 miles, after all) as
presented as being the important ones and overlooking what really
matters (not paying attention to flying the airplane, not being in
radio contact,).


We don't yet know if they'd set up the auto-repeating CPDLC. I've
heard that a majority of pilots these days resort to only the most
minimal radio transmissions while the cool CPDLC keeps everyone happy.
