This post loves to read stories about aviation and air tragedies - air crash investigation. Most of the tragedies would have been avoided if the pilot practiced good communications with the first officer, ATC, observed company and good flying practices, followed the ATC, had good situational awareness: fuel, condition of flaps, landing gear, of propellers pitch.
In one story, the plane crashed, a propeller driven airplane because the pilot mistakenly pulled the feather lever, when it was about to land, and had no power upon landing and crashed.
One crashed because the captain disobeyed the order for it to reduce altitude by observing the holding pattern. Instead he disregarded the holding and went straight and was thus landing too steep an angle and too steep. The pilot and the first officer were not communicating (which was the norm - always verifying) The pilot had this habit of disregarding procedure and should not have been allowed to fly. Thus insubordination is a dismissible offense
Be aware of supervisors and staff who do not observe procedures, and/or who fail to communicate
