Oh I agree there! Automation is wonderful when there are no pilots aboard!
Is this really a pilots forum??
Go and check your history, dlcmdrx, especially regarding Perpignan. And Quito, for that matter. When you're better educated on both accidents, come back.
Let me guess, you are one of those that say the only fault of perpignan was of the pilots for not being prepared before hand right??
And as far as quito you are one of those that say that the 20 year experienced captain didnt know how to land a plane right??
Check out Bilbao 2001 and come back when you are not so biased in favor of airbus.
