It's a fact that the majority of aircraft accidents are caused by pilot error so if they automated the flight deck even more and had less pilots it will be even safer.
Ouch Tbar....
Harsh but hard to argue with on that basis....
Automation is here to stay so you better get used to it, I suspect one day the yoke and side stick will disappear!
I agree Wildpilot but more than a few pilots here would love to think of themselves as Capt Kirk sitting in a seat like that.
