The fact that aircraft and their systems are so reliable is so as to enhance their safety in the hands of a well trained and suitably experienced crew - not for their safety margin to be eroded by inexperienced 'machine/systems operators' because they are 'easy to fly'.

There is a whole lot more to flying an aeroplane, than just operating the machine.
