Hi Machinbird,
Thanks again and I do agree that training is the key! I'm just not sure we can rely on some (beancounter-driven) airlines to give pilots all the training (inc opportunities for hand flying) which they really need - hence my wondering about what additional automation help can/should be incorporated, to avoid overcontrolling in Alt law hand flying. Perhaps the answer is "none"; but perhaps further automation help (in addition to more training!) might be useful.
Me, cynical about airline training policies? Surely not!

Hi safetypee,
Thanks for those links, including The Ironies of Automation paper which I mentioned.
