Look at it from management's pov. To them all accidents are "pilot error". Very few managements look for root causes, because it is easier to stop an investigation where the blame is placed on the pilots.
So all of the modern aircraft are engineered to somewhat take the flying equation out. TCAS resolution on the A380 is automated with no pilot input. Managements don't want pilots to interfere with there highly engineered, highly expensive modern aircraft. they write SOPs to use the highest level of automation. Introduce FOQA, and now you have management actually "in the cockpit". We are all interested in keeping our jobs, so we comply.
It's management's risk assessment. But now the industry is starting to see incidents and accidents creeping in due to the above policies. There is nothing currently on the table at most large airlines to abate this trend. It's easy to indentify this risk, but what's the solution? Extra training have costs associated. Manufactures sell their aircraft with the point of less training required. And if the competitor (both airline and manufacturer) can obtain regulatory compliance with les training, what is the incentive to add more training. One extra simulator for upset recovery will not solve the automation issue.
