Fair enough. There is a lot of discussion at the moment that centres around automations role in reducing piloting ability and particularly manual flying wrt the ability to recover from inappropriate automation use and the the loss of knowledge, manual flying ability and experience. LCCs use automation in modern aircraft to employ lower experienced pilots. No doubt the advent of remotely piloted aircraft fits in there somewhere and as a group we are nearing the cross roads of the benefits of automation versus human/manual flying.
