Boeing philosophy is that the pilot is in control of the aircraft all the time, not computers, the automatics is there to help.
That's just a well absorbed version of the propaganda ("marketing" if you prefer) story. What, in practice, is the difference between the two manufacturers when it comes to the role of automation? Very little, especially when you look to the latest aircraft offerings.
Is this entire thread not a testimony to the fact that too many pilots are not working hard enough and have too much time on their hands to pontificate about the minutaie of very little?
