Why hasn't the problem been fixed in 42 years?

It wasn't a "problem" until recently, just like a load of other nonsense
the health and safety culture has come up with.

When was the last time a commercial airliner landed with its wheels up
because the crew forgot to lower them??

mistakes - are they just 'dumb'?

No , they're careless and should be fired. Making mistakes in a stressful
situation with a lot going on is one thing - not bothering to check which
side the flippin platform is on when you're doing bugger all else anyway
except possibly reading a copy of The Sun under the control desk is something
