Medicated Oil,
What REAL experience do you think they lack? Or they are
"not proven" because they are not exposed to challenging times (if
this is the case, they r kind of the victims of our success isn't
it)?
The Captain and his new crew at the Bridge are steering
an old Titanic into unchartered waters, but will keep the more
experienced crew in the engine room and perform the mundane jobs to
build relations with the passengers and grow their loyalty to
continue with the ship.
With the Captain and his crew at the Bridge trained only
with simulators that are all computerised with familiar training
scenarios, and tested by trainers who have their own favorite
training settings - can the team at the Bridge cope with new real
world scenarios ?
It becomes obvious that when they are put into the real
world, their over-reliance on futuristice electronic systems
have made them blind to the small quirks that can exist
in the system that when left unattended, will have accumulated
consequences in some major epic proportions over time..
When electronic navigation system depends on the accuracy
of the satellites that can be affected by "sun storms" -
any inaccuracies measured by 1 minute latitude or
longitude that are not picked up early, can send the
Titanic totally off course after one hour at a determined set
speed in the expected direction.
When over dependance on electronics becomes a convenient
habit, trusted old maps from ages past are seen to
be dubious and discarded, even as it could be used with
the old sextant to measure the stars and save the Titanic.
Even as the Captain and his team at the Bridge are hopelessly
lost, will they admit their failure, and call for help from the
more experienced "old hands" that have been pushed below
decks - to the less glamorous and mundane jobs ?
Will they call for help from some of the passengers - who may
possess the knowledge and training to fix the quirks in the systems
installed onboard the Titanic ?
Will they admit that not everyone in the Crew may have all the
complete training nor familiarity with the new real world scenario,
or will they simply prefer not to alarm the passengers and have
them lose confidence to abandon ship too early ?
Obviously, the Captain and his Crew will prefer to keep
that prerogative to make that last call "to abandon ship" when
they have prepared themselves for it.
