In retirement I am amazed to read that major airline Airbus pilots seem unable to fly manual throttle and apparently fail to scan their flight instruments sufficiently in a non normal situation to keep their aircraft the right way up.
A warning light or an aural alert seems to auto cancel their ability to fly instruments....they do not seem very good at using the radar to avoid weather either.
