jadrolinija,
You comments are ridiculous. Once you become a competent professional in any job, the work does become very straight forward and you are tested when things don't go to plan, but that is the reason you are there, as a trained professional.
You saying that because someone said the job is straight forward or easy as you put it, doesn't make them out of the loop. You are quite correct, the autopilot does do most of the work, however it takes a degree of skill to be able to use and manipulate the autopilot, and I have seen numerous pilots come unstuck because they are not competent using it, which can become the enemy!
Negan, what are you talking about? If you had any of those things you mentioned as a trained professional you would deal with them, that is why you are tested every 6 months and that is why you are in the seat. And why is keeping fresh and current with your company procedures stressful? That is what you are paid for. If you maintain high professional standards throughout your career it is seldom a problem.
