As I said in my post I have never heard of a fatal autoland since they started in the 70s but over that period of years there have been far too many manual landing accidents.
Think logically.

Any autoland that went wrong, at any phase, had the pilot who intevened to rectify. Thank god, because there must have been many, myself having interrupted three of them.

It's almost like the protections covering me at times, happened once as well, I have to admit.

We're a good complement, but no one ever drew a statistic about that fact.

To me your claims about "automatics forever" are somewhat preposterous.
We need the good pilots more than ever.
