airtren and others, if meatware pilots are so darned good, why do you and the others believe the FBW aircraft are consistently showing very significantly lower accident rates when it has just been demonstrated that current levels of flight training have deteriorated significantly? Could it be that the automation actually provides a serious added benefit?
You are correct, and nobody doubts the benefit of automation in itself.
But it can and must further improve and subjects asociated with automation must be looked at with more attention than before..
Or are you saying, automation is at the end of its developement, that is as far as we can get, human machine interface is perfect and that will be for the next 100 years?
