Am reminded of a case where a pilot of a Russian plane, IIRC, showed his 13 yr old son (or some 13 yr old kid) pilot the plane. Kid pushes wrong button or pulls wrong lever; plane plummets and they couldn't save it. All lives lost.

(search— from elvis-costello.net :
>>’’Daddy, Can I Turn This?’’ is the most furious rock song on the album. The title comes from a news account of the last words heard before a plane crash a few years back, right?
That phrase occurs in the transmission from the flight deck of an Aeroflot jet that crashed in Russia. The pilot is supposed to have let his 13-year-old son pilot the plane, and that’s the last thing he’s supposed to have said.

Management ought to bring this up at the next union contract negotiation. “It’s so easy, an eight year old can do it!” Sounds like a minimum wage job.
