Hi,
With highly capable pilots instead of just "trained operators".
IMO the training requirements are
much higher when operating complex machines.
Unless you think (erroneously) everything can be previewed by engineers during design phase.
Perhaps "IT people" influence on Airbus SAS Design approach was excessive.
Many years ago a friend (ex. Air Force one pilot and Safety Board Head) told me: A good pilot must always call his plane by "Sir". With a lot of respect.
An a/c using Finite States Machines in their Systems design approach IMHO requires much more respect. You must be very careful (and respectful) with it.
Their behaviour is never completely understandable. The old "Testability issue" of Complex Systems.
