Put me down for the TCAS and EGPWS, two very good safety-
enhancement tools of trade - they can assist a superior pilot
to avoid situations that require his superior abilities. TCAS is
more a prevention tool, by assisting in situational awareness
as is EGPWS, in avoiding the potential problem before all the
bells and whistles go off).

Glass cockpit when everything is working honky dory? Yeh to
an extent. Same can't be said when everything decides not to
work.
