The sad fact in most of these accidents but not all is that the pilots are not in tune with the a/c. There may well be a case for a different training approach but there is NOT a safety case to change the technology.
My dear Safety, I could not disagree more. The question is exactly the opposite. It is the technology that has to serve humans, therefore, it is the technology that has to be in tune with human factors. If you were a pilot, you would understand my point of view. The aircraft doesn't have to behave like an enigmatic robot. It has to transmit "feelings" to the pilot, and they have to "work together" for the same objective, to fly safe. I understand that this XXI Century "new" concepts need a new mindset to be flown. But the interface between man-machine, in step of being reduced, should have been emphasized.
