Crisis in the Sky (2x1)

Air date: Dec 15, 2014

Season 2 begins with a look at cockpit communication and how it improved with the implementation of Crew Resource Management (CRM) in 1979. Before Crew Resource Management, the Captain was seen as a god, not to be challenged, even if crew members felt he was wrong. But before the program was enacted, many planes crashed.
