I'm sorry if I gave the impression of being critical of you Mike. Certainly not my intention & I do understand your point.

I just think that the pointy end is crammed with all sorts of safety & alerting systems that information overload must become a factor. Years have been spent training crew to automatically accept a TCAS instruction, for example, regardless of their opinion/experience/instinct etc. Whilst I know we're talking seconds here, as against minutes, surely the reactions should be similar. Automated systems tell you one thing, you react in one way & if time permits, perhaps then you can verify via backup. (Which is probably your point)
