vilas, #82; a thoughtful post, reminding us that there are alternative, justifiable points of view
For those who disagree, ok, but please provide a reasoned and argued debate.
Starting with this quote ?
“If you want to fly as [traditional pilots] say they do, then go fly gliders, become test pilots, for all I care go to the moon. But flying for the airlines is not supposed to be an adventure. From takeoff to landing, the autopilots handle the controls. This is routine. In a Boeing as much as an Airbus. And they make better work of it than any pilot can. You’re not supposed to be the blue-eyed hero here. Your job is to make decisions, to stay awake, and to know which buttons to push and when. Your job is to manage the systems.”
Quoted text from 2009 book Fly by Wire: The Geese, the Glide, the Miracle on the Hudson. - William Langewiesche
