In due course we will see a fatal, hull loss, accident caused by two pilots demonstrating their inability to fly an aircraft by hand in slightly demanding circumstances (the clues are aleady there - have a look at medium twin jets flying on standby instruments in Europe in recent years). We won't see the non-accidents which this change in the industry has produced, but it will be a hollow excuse.
This is a VERY COMPLEX matter and one which goes unaddressed by industry and regulator alike.
Hell in a handcart? Yes, slowly and steadily, but in a manner symptomatic of the whole world modern man has created.
What a fascinating topic for proper study...
