Still, automation eliminates errors as well as causing them.
An old computer programmers caution -- "there is always another bug"
The more we rely on computers the more we are subject to unforeseen and (sometimes) uncontrollable ELECTRONIC events, particularly where flying machines are concerned.
The jury is still out on BA038. Now we have the Buffalo Dash8 and and the Turkish B378. People are also reminding us of the TOM incident 2 years ago.
Too much reliance on technology is not a good thing. Bring back good airmanship!!
