Shock Horror! - Over-reliance on automation leads to crew 'cock-ups' - no great surprise there.
Mr Crab, I would like you to maybe consider changing your words to "Inappropriate deployment and inadequate training in the limitations of the AFCS led to mahoosive whoopsie!"
Otherwise we chuck the baby out with the bath water. Autopilots are amazing, when deployed appropriately and within their design limitations. Even the dodgy one on my B412 does me proud when I need it. Then again I am a skygod!
