In his own words - seductively credible but also rather flawed. An examination of airline accidents stretching into the past will turn up a long list of LOC accidents. Automation is not the cause of this nor is it a new phenomena (Clipper Skippers anyone?). Pilots have been losing control for various reasons for a long time and will continue to do so. An examination of one of his examples - the Adam Air accident he mentions suggests other causes for the accident, more relating to CRM than mental atrophy. A reading of the Air France audit (somewhere on this thread) will prove more productive than watching this video.
