There are too many incidents/accidents due to human failure to brow beat technological intervention. Two Bonafide pilots in front with headsets off and speakers off. Not an isolated incident. In one case fighters were scrambled. One taking rest, other on ipad dials altitude instead of resetting heading leading to altitude bust. Capt sleeps for hour plus, starts ATC delayed descent, 9000ft out of slot never realised(sleep inertia) lands deep out of badly unstable approach and go around after reversing kills 158 people in good weather. No! This will not do. Now only question is whether technology can do better. May be not present machines but more redundancies and reliability can do it. Or can humans be changed?
