The concept of promoting autolands as the future due to inexperienced crew, fails to consider the busy ATC environment, the lack of ILS signal protection unless weather conditions dictate it, and therefore the potential consequences of conducting auto-coupled approaches in day to day operations.
Piloting skills..... still required.
Minimum 2 crew...still required.
Airline Management have for years belittled/discredited our Profession by reducing T&Cs, looking to increase productivity.
They have believed an increase in automation with a transition to single crew operations on large aircraft as an opportunity to reduce costs, yet time and again we see the realities of operating in an increasingly busy airspace environment prove that there is no quick fix despite the accountants wishes.
