That'll be interesting when you have to visit an airfield with no operating ILS! Of course that won't happen because wuth autopilot only take offs you won't be taking off! Now, lets talk about banning all manual flying on that deathtrap the B744. CX and BA have had a couple of interesting go-arounds, must be the aircraft to blame.
