If that's the message you got from my post then I should be faulted for it's tone, though not it's content.I was not bragging, I was simply holding myself up as the average airline pilot for use in my example.My many hours do not make me infallable but they do provide for superior adaptability and judgement in an infinitely fluid environment such as aviation. A programmer can only account for a finite number of possibilities. I see a disparity here.
AirBus' philosophy reminds me of a joke about the future cockpit containing a pilot and a dog. The pilot's job is to feed the dog. The dog's job is to bite the pilot if he touches anything.
