What we don’t read about are the thousands of flights each day which are operated safely because of, not despite decisions of the pilots. We make a myriad of seeming insignificant decisions during flight which result in a safe outcome of that flight.

Technology is great until it isn’t. Pilots aren’t paid for when things go right, we are paid for when things go wrong.
