I don't accept that it's difficult to program an aircraft to revert to basic attitude flying when there's a pitot/static...

Ahhhhh, one (possibly two) examples of where no crew would have been better!

Why do people get so hot and bothered about a simple debate? I'd suggest if you can't remove your personal situation...

It is far easier to fully-automate an airliner than a car for use on public roads, you only...

I'm guessing you wouldn't be too impressed by Airbus' plans for single-pilot airliners within 10 years and unmanned (ground controlled) within 20? :E
