Vilnius - Automatics were engaged and were still available (autopilot A I believe would have worked) after B hydraulics were turned off. Would the aircraft have crashed anyway if the automatics were engaged? If you clear the warning system for the hydraulic failure and don't monitor flap deployment then even with the AutoPilot engaged, the outcome is uncertain.
We already have an example of a “more automated” aircraft than the B737. Absent at least one uncorrelated failure, an Airbus most likely would have saved the day in Vilnius.
