The lost aviator

"Why do, smart and well trained professionals with spotless flying records make dumb mistakes and kill themselves? If something is predictable, then it should be preventable. When and where is the next accident going to occur? And while I am not sure when or when I am reasonably certain I can tell you who and why.... Who. I believe is someone who has never had an accident before, highly experienced, and highly respected...who has disengaged a little bit from his profession..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZX9lyu7EJc

"Leadership is not a noun, it is verb. It's action..." "By the way...the position doesn't make you a leader..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPwXeg8ThWI

Human perception is a “conscious sensory experience” that utilizes a combination of our senses and our brain to filter and read those sensory inputs (Goldstein, 2010).  Research has revealed that there are a number of common ways that our brains can “trick” us into a misconception of the reality or truth of a situation.  These biases serve as filters, hindering our ability to make accurate decisions.  While some of these biases may not have a large effect on the final outcome of our decision choices in most situations, in certain high risk decision making, the outcome of a decision that is improperly filtered by cognitive bias can be fatal. http://airlinesafety.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/the-role-of-cognitive-bias-in-aircraft-accidents/
