I won't argue with that, Scam!

It's plain to me that the leaders of the industry are no longer leading. They are being lead by rampant technology invasion, unknowingly allowing basic skills to disappear. Either we take the bull by the horns and train hard in both autos AND manual, or we give in and do RNP approaches everywhere. That's fine, right up to the point where the autos mess up. Then jets start dropping out of the sky. The biggest current cause of prangs is no longer CFIT; it's loss of control. Pilots can no longer "fly", and it's only going to get worse.

Maybe we should have days of boxless approaches. That would be entertaining. Get that Dugong on the buffet, eh 380?
