The epiphany that hit me, is that safety needs to continue to get better and at some point and some time total automation will almost certainly become the next step.
I appreciate this thread reminding me that the day is probably well off in the future and we continue the pilot feeding the dog jokes.
a big chunk of recent safety advances has accrued to Airbus operators and not to Boeing operators because of Boeing’s desire (pushed by their airline customers) to keep commonality. It’s not a popular thing to say, but Boeing aircraft are less safe than Airbus aircraft. They demand more from the humans operating them, and humans are fallible.
