For instance, you – [gasp!] have to actually tune the navaid!
Time for the prayer beads ! I get less and less interested in doing any more flying - I can press buttons to my heart's content on various electronic gadgets at work (should I really want to) without having to do 0-dark-30 sim sessions for licence renewals.
Try telling that to the families, both of the crew and of the passengers on that Adam Air flight.
The pragmatic reality is that "affordable safety" (as our former Regulatory Leader used to say) IS the reality. Folks like A37575 (whom I have known for 30-40 years) can do both the stick and rudder AND the nickelodeon thing with equal dexterity and style. The problem arises with pilots who can do one but not the other and/or inappropriately use one when the other is blindingly obviously the more appropriate (and safer) option.
Is there a simple solution ? Of course not .. and the pragmatic one just costs money.
