DEBRIEFING INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS IN RELATIONSHIPS?

by Anatoly IVANOV

PSYCHOLOGY / TRANSPORTATION / ESSAYS

Do you know how the aviation industry improved to become the safest mode of transportation? Debriefings of incidents and accidents.

Do we debrief our failed relationships? No. Do we improve? No.

We get into the same cockpit of a 1970′s McDonnell Douglas DC-10 saying “oh, forget about that asshole / bitch” and rev up the engines for the next take-off.

— Oh, but, Anatoly, but love, and friendships, and feelings… not the same.

— Read the transcripts of the surviving pilots having terrible feelings during those debriefings. So, no. We deliberately choose to play on repeat.
