Crew Resource Management is important and became a standard in the industry after United 173[1] ran out of fuel because everyone was distracted by a failed light. The low fuel was noticed by co-pilots who were not assertive about the seriousness of the issue to the more senior captain. As a result the NTSB made a specific recommendation that all crew members be taught to be assertive.
