I don’t see automation being too much of a problem in Australia where most pilots seem to get a solid grounding in developing hands on flying skills in GA or the Military
Chief, what part of GA teaches us to fly a fully automated jet like an A320 ? Apologies if I misunderstood your post, but most of the A320 accidents have been caused by incorrect use or mis-understanding of automatics, the most infamous being the 1st crash which was, incredibly, flown by someone who should have known better, an Airbus test pilot
