automation dependent

That is what automation dependency causes. Can't believe a "pilot" would ever try an autoland because their own flying skills are so lacking that they can't even manage to safely land an aircraft. We all know the basic pilot training in India is a joke. Maybe if the airlines in India spent a little more effort training their pilots these situations could be avoided. It also wouldn't hurt for the "captains" there would allow the fo's to take off and land the aircraft. Also maybe if the company didn't upgrade everybody with the bare minimum experience in order to get rid of the expat pilots these situations could be avoided.
