The primary purpose of the software appears to be engineering "pilot error" out of the equation and to allow for an overall deterioration of pilot quality. Instead of the software allowing for management of complex tasks in a fast moving environment it is being utilized to perform standard tasks in normal operating conditions
Am I reading this right? You believe the intent of the software is, as it's primary purpose, to allow for an overall deterioration of pilot quality? Bulls
t. Now that doesn't mean
some pilots don't take excessive advantage of automation leading to a deterioration in piloting skills, but as many of the old hands on this forum have repeated - basic flying skills MUST still be practiced, and many SOPs encourage this (though true enough, others don't). But that was NOT what Airbus designed into the software.
(I don't disagree with your first point - engineering pilot error out of the equation - for example stall protections).
