A couple of definitons for you:
pilot (AIRCRAFT)
noun [C]
a person who flies an aircraft
robot
noun [C]
a machine used to perform jobs automatically, which is controlled by a computer
I know which one I'd rather be.........
Seriously, we get paid to fly aircraft and we should be able to inspire confidence in our passengers. There are times when instrument approaches are safer, even in VMC (high traffic etc), but if you can't fly a simple visual approach and landing in an aircraft you have been checked out on then you shouldn't be permitted to operate it -especially with fare paying passengers on board.
