    Crew Resource Management

    Thank you for the interesting column on the Tenerife accident. It is my understanding that this accident was the seminal event resulting in the establishment of Crew (Cockpit?) Resource Management (CRM) as a training / operating philosophy for commercial airlines. Has CRM been implemented by all commercial airlines? Is it practiced by smaller regional carriers (e.g., Comair)?
