We are much safer than in the olden days, and yes, all those bells and whistles do help. And of course we still have incidents happen and we continue to learn from them and improve further. I’m not less of a pilot now that the autopilot flies the TCAS avoidance, or the plane automatically reports braking action in roll out so that others get a nearly real time update.
But i have to say, i really enjoyed that rant, very well done indeed
