There really is no real need for pilots any more when you think about it .
So, now you read AF447 up and tell me exactly what a computer would have done there, when precisely what the Atari did was to say: take over please, Iīm basically at the end of my wisdom and canīt make out what happens here.
WHY a crew of 3 professionals canīt understand that they just lost the pitots is a different question, one of training IMHO. Especially when the BirginAir and AeroPeru crashes were basically old news and very much accessible news.
I can tell you that we train with an international provider of the highest standards and we had to request this training to get it. EASA thinks its way more important to train one engine out scenarios until the doctor arrives, rather than the deadly stuff that really happens
nowadays...
