It sounds awful
This sounds truly awful. I am just about to start my career in aviation and I hope this project is not repeated elsewhere. I don't want to sit there for hours looking at dials and screens and making the odd course or alt adjustment. I can continue doing that in the military for more money and less hassle! I want to take-off, fly and land the bugger! Hopefully not a sign of things to come. My boss told me today that he reckoned that airliners would not have a human crew in about 40 years. Again, I hope not!
