its not just the fly by wire stuff.
pilots simply are so overwelmed with gadgets , that they are not flying the plane.
a gadget to keep the plane going straight if an engine quits is great! but if the plane in question had started going sideways, the copilot would have hit the rudder pedals and noticed something wasn't right...some pilots are always using rudder and never get the throttles/engines equal.
after getting tired of subconsciously holding rudder, he or she would have looked down to see that the throttles/engines weren't right and fixed it.
demanding approach to LAX? puhleese. then all approaches are demanding.
makes one wonder about pilot induced errors on many mysterious engine problems.
simpler is better!
