I wasn't trying to lower anything Gary.
I was just pointing out the difference in technology in say the last 50 years.
Imagine then what will be around 50 years from now.
This thread is about exactly that with pilots becoming more systems analysts than they are pilots at least compared to pilots of 50 years ago.
How much hands on flying do pilots do on modern commercial aircraft today compared to the aircraft of the day 50 years ago.Isn't that what this thread is about?
Technology is driven simply by money or more accurately the need to save money.
The day a machine can smell fumes/smoke and know how to deal with it you might have a point. Until then......
I bet pilots were saying something very similar back in the 50's and 60's so I'm afraid you won't have to wait long Gary
