Resource Management For High Risk Users concentrates on risk management processes from 20,000 B.C.E. to the present, in the group Professional Airplane Pilot. Today's commercial airline pilot is only the most recent adaptation of risk manager. For literally thousands of years, humans have improved their ability to survive in various risk environments. As our ancestors learned to survive, they left behind instructions on how to avoid death or injury while carrying out important duties. Since 1903, airplane pilots have improved the way they do their business in the risk environment known as the flight deck.
