Re: It's 1995
before 1995 it was said in praise of irish rugby
"they don't whine when they lose, or gloat when they win"
indeed some things have changed for the worse since then

I think that's the crux of the matter: there's no doubt that aircraft's reliability, handling characteristics, safety systems, and also pilot's training have all improved steadily over the years, but it's the systems in particular which present something of a double-edged sword.
