That second report is fascinating. One might hope that even amateur pilots would know power curve characteristics at high altitude, and the flight team&#x27;s &quot;gosh we&#x27;re saving a lot of fuel&quot; comments on the CVR inspire a sort of grim amusement, but I wonder whether the incident might actually have saved lives in the long run.<p>If we&#x27;re going to fly budget carriers like Pinnacle, those carriers are going to employ inexperienced flight crews and attempt to make up it up with training, simulation, and rules. This misadventure identified numerous shortfalls in those. I doubt anyone flying today&#x27;s Endeavor Air ignores so many stick shakes, uses the same stall procedure at all altitudes, ignores airspeed, hasn&#x27;t heard of &quot;core lock&quot;, or lies so blatantly to ATC in potential emergency situations. I can understand why the report soft-pedaled the training gaps, because after all they didn&#x27;t need to give the aircrew&#x27;s survivors any more leverage in the inevitable lawsuit, but I&#x27;d expect training to improve anyway.<p>Is it common practice for pilots at budget airlines to read accident reports like this?<p>IANAPilot, but I&#x27;d like to be!
