?? Why waste such a great system ????
Personally, I quite like to fly the aeroplane when I can. I can live with the stereotype of glorified bus driver, however I don't want to be regarded as a glorified computer programmer!
I also concur with G-JP, I have had the autoland system pull off some real stinkers in the past; so pax comfort has little to do with it. It has some real limitations in the NG, mostly due to the fact that the autopilot system has no input to the rudder. You attempt an autoland with a 15kt Crosswind (the limit) or greater in the simulator. Its horrid! It also isn't too hot with a tailwind either.
Autoland is there to be used when you need to and when it is certified to do so in my opinion. That's when it is worth it's weight in gold (ie the days when you really have 200m RVR in the TDZ!)
