Crab asked, "Do you want to produce a generation of helicopter pilots who are similarly challenged?"
Yes. I want an industry that does not rely on needing brave people with lightning fast reflexes and the judgement of a brain surgeon in order for its passengers to survive.
I want a system of transport that, if left mostly to itself, hardly ever failed.
I want machines that mostly were trying to help their crews, not turn them upside down after a moment's distraction.
I want a generation of pilots who are not driven by the macho pride of how hard it is to do their job, but instead are driven by pride in how long it has been since they had to blame a peer for failing in his job.
The automobile industry faced such decisions back when, and electric starters, emergency brakes, radial tires, windshield wipers, ignition keys, etc etc were developed to mature the industry and make automotive transportation legitimate. And back then, hairy-chested drivers lamented the passing of the ways...
