So ‘the children of the line lack the skills’ (an artifact of using the ‘safety improving’ avionics), or were the children unnecessarily exposed to adverse situations due to ‘failures’ of the avionics (which could have been avoided with the latest standard of modern systems).
Or maybe the high pressure situations which the children had to face were actually of the industry’s making due to commercial pressures or self-inflicted complexities of modern operations?

Modern, safer avionics can have their downside if inappropriately ‘promoted’ as an all-encompassing safety feature, whereas the proposed use of any safety feature must consider the people and the situations which might realistically be encountered.
