Good thoughts. I suppose that that explains my reaction to the Asiana and Indian accidents, having spent the vast majority of my career in decidedly manual airplanes (DC-6 and now L382). It just seems so
foreign to me to not put your hands on the throttle and yoke and fly the airplane in a better direction.
