Good Lookout?
Here’s a quick one while I’ve got the time: Why do pilots seem to think that radio calls can replace a good lookout? In particular, I frequently see aircraft pointed away from the approach path of the runway they intend to enter, while requesting that “any aircraft on base or final please advise.” Look! Then you can make a radio call of intentions, to double-check in case you missed something or could not see aircraft because of obstacles (trees blocking downwind/base leg for 18).
