plus if the met goes totally auto in the next few years
I've not done met for a few years, but over my 2 main careers I have done 5 Met courses, including forecasters course.
Met will not become fully automatic in a safety critical environment for a long time, if ever. At the very least it will need qualified observers to check output with a Mark 1 eyeball...
You should base your vote, either way, on the assumption you will have to do some Met... you alone will know whether the safety case satisfies you
