Bush Flying has got nothing to do with this scenario 'clunckdriver' and 'CarltonBrowne the FO' the vast majority of airline pilots these days will complete a whole career with no significant aircraft failures. Engine and system problems are rare, unless you forget to switch them on of course, but automation will pre empt those problems. Fact is that an awful lot of airlines are now recruiting very low houred people, they don't have to fly with floats or deal with life threatening 'hands on' situations, they just push the buttons. As for situations that the autopilot cannot cope with, come off it.
