Also not what I said

Thought-provoking statement, hopefully. Crew working well don't enter the equation, the crew today working beyond what the Future Gen setup is able to deliver is what fits the comparison. What you call saves are HF solutions to situations rooted in the presence of the necessary but unsupervised and uncontrolled HF element onboard to begin with.

BTW don't omit the remote piloted part, please. Three standalone layers as opposed to a single layer of 2 humans now.
Even Uplinker's case is admitted to be a one-man save, is it not?
+ autonomous
+ remotely piloted from C&C
+ on-board supervised with live (single) backup.

UPS 6
Air Canada snowplough @ SFO

Were those saves or kills? Only through huge luck is how those did not become the largest disasters of all aviation time.

On-board HF will lose the reliability battle through a long-term continuous improvement programme of the HW and SW solutions, still controlled by human operator teams, remotely.
