OK in which case my question is, do you find that in the area of Human Factors, aviation relates well to other industries? For example, train drivers, ship's captains etc.
On a visit back to NZ, I had the opportunity to visit the bridge of the Cook Strait ferry. It had more automation than the aircraft I fly (better seats, too, and the ability to go for a brisk jog around the bridge if you get restless).
I am wondering if the role of the ships captain has ever been compared with that of an aircraft captain? From a Human Factors standpoint.
