Ballsout,
My God man, the attitude you have concerning flying an airline is exactly why so many low-houred colleges have no clue anymore about stick-and-rudder which is how the aircraft is designed to fly! It is designed to be flown raw-data, any other help is there to make your life easier if you want to, but if you can't fly your machine, then my dear man, you are risking the lives of your passengers and crew every time your main-gear lifts off the runway.
This accident seems more and more a reason to closely look into how far our piloting skills (not computer skills and button-pushing qualities) have decayed and how new-entrants need to be trained. I say again, a manual approach would have avoided this accident.
