[NSRCA-discussion] Chapter-5 Going too far.

[Del K. Rykert]

That is why I have such a issue with software being used to grade people 
that sit the chair long after the fact or flight has been completed.  If 
they want to do it right.. Tape the flight with other competent judges to 
see if that judge rewarded scores correctly.  Unfortunately, it only proves 
they were clear headed, awake and caught all the correct flaws that one 
given flight. I have seen some very competent capable people miss a major 
downgrade  much to their chagrin after sheets are turned in.

It is not a perfect system. It is better in most cases than the random 
grabbing of warm bodies that used to prevail years ago.
