When introduced, the 320 then 330/340 series required a new understanding of how flight controls and automation worked - the airplane is obscure and confusing only if a student was offered barebones groundschool and eight simulator sessions before flying the airplane under supervision.
That's exactley what I mean, Automation stands for a lot of comfort, but when it quits, You're in front of a somtimes very complex situation and reduced training, for sure is the wrong answer.
The machine-human interface is not realy the best, I see that from the humans perspective.
My regards.
