It seems that Airbus intends to enhance aircraft automation, which: " ... could help flightcrews focus less on the aircraft operation and more on mission management." Other than monitoring aircraft systems, routing, turbulence avoidance, etc., what is "mission management". I also find it interesting that Airbus uses the term "flight crew" rather than "pilots". We have seen the future, and it may not include "pilots" as we know them now. So goes Airbus, so goes the World.
