Pilots are rarely the only ones to blame. Rather airlines, military services and other operators make decisions that result in situations which lead to accidents.
We aviators need to realize that our aircraft and flying environments are just too complicated to attack problems on an ad hoc basis. If you don’t have a valid reason for your action, don’t take the action.
